| | Posted on 01 February 2008 18:34 | | | I saw an item on another site regarding passport delays inbound into Manchester and thought i'd add my piece!! I left Mcr on Sunday 27th with BMI to Las Vegas, no problems ref checking in and security and no problems in Vegas upon arrival. The plane was full (200 pax) and Las Vegas had around 10 border control staff on duty to meet the flight. We whizzed through even with the mandatory passport, Visa Waiver forms, fingerprinting and photographs being taken.
Compare this to Thursday am arrival back in Manchester. Again, arriving with BMI from Chicago with a full flight to be met by THREE immigration staff on duty... one for non-eu's and two for eu nationals.
It took 4 times as long to get back through Manchester than it did to get through Las Vegas!
Also, customs staff on duty at LAS conducting the usual questions forms and random searches of people and their luggage. At Manchester.....nobody on duty!
Lack of staff is clearly an issue in certain departments at Manchester!! | | ............................................................................................................................................................................................. |

| | Posted on 29 January 2008 16:36 | | | Manchester is a shambles. The aim of all airports should be to get 95% of passengers off the airport and onto their onward travel within 30 minutes of the plane touching down. Singapore manages it with ease. Liverpool virtually always. Manchester never. In fact when I do travel from Manchester it takes me longer to get home than when I travel from Liverpool, even though Liverpool is 30 minutes drive further away.
Immigration is slow, with large queues particularly when several widebody jets arrive at the same time. Still it keeps the passengers away from the Baggage carousels, so the wait there is only 15-20 minutes.
In the end the reason why Manchester is so poor is that there has been inadequate investment both in the physical systems for managing passenger flow, and inadequate staff on duty.
If Manchester wants to call itself a great airport the management need to talk to those airports that do function efficiently.
A few smiles from the staff might help as well!!! | | ............................................................................................................................................................................................. |

| | Posted on 17 January 2008 08:19 | | | | It was chaos in Manchester on 31st December. Thomson seem to have adopted a 1 for all chech in which we stood in for 11/2 hours having to be called out because the last check in time for flight had passed. I think it was easier to have a check in for each flight. | | ............................................................................................................................................................................................. |
