Three things Manchester Airport passengers can do to avoid queues

Manchester Airport bosses have issued three instructions all passengers must follow to avoid delays before they fly.

It comes amid complaints from passengers who say they've "never seen the queues this bad". Many people have taken to social media to report the problems they've encountered, in a repeat of scenes from days and even weeks ago.

The issues remain in the security checkpoint area with some commenting that queues have been snaking out of the security department and into the drop off area.

Staff at Manchester Airport continue to advise passengers to arrive at least three hours prior to their flight. This is in an attempt to reduce the extra queues.

Earlier this week, the airport said airlines such as Jet2 and TUI now offer a "twilight" service to save travellers some time on the day of departure. The service, which is also offered at other airports, means people flying before midday can drop bags off between 3-8pm the day before.

On Friday, the airport instructed all travellers to do three things before their flights to avoid extra delays. On Twitter, the airport's official account said: "Travelling from Manchester Airport soon? Prepare for your airport journey in advance. This includes allowing enough time and preparing your hand luggage for security screening."

A graphic accompanying the tweet said people should:

  • Arrive at the time specified by your airline
  • Seal all liquids and gels in a clear plastic bag
  • Place all electricals flat in your tray
