Passengers arriving at Manchester Airport attempting to jet off on holiday say they've "never known it like this" after battling huge queues and reports there's not a staff member in sight.
When the Manchester Evening News visited the under fire airport's Terminal One this afternoon, we were met with absolute bedlam in the departures lounge. It was nearly impossible to identify the relevant check in desk due to the vast number of bemused travellers figuring out where to go.
Little could be heard amongst the loud chatter of stressed families questioning how long they'll be stuck, apart from a woman on the tannoy asking any passengers with flights in less than one hour to raise their hand. A few desperate hands appeared to rise up in the air as the panic on passengers faces started to subside.
