Date of travel - 03.01.2008
Airline service - fair
Arrival time - on time
Distance from bags - fair
Time at passport - over 2 hours - Terminal 1
Opinion:
A horrible end to our silver anniversary/xmas and new years break in Spain. The queuing at Manchester Airport was first and foremost dangerous and unacceptable. I can recall several people taking video of the scenes at the escalators and horizontal walkways which they would send to various newspapers and the firebrigade. I only wish I had charged up my battery.
I have travelled around Europe and the world in my job and never seen such a farce. The officials were working their socks off. My husband is a former firefighter in the RAF and holds the view that the whole thing is a disaster waiting to unfold.
I have read the previous messages and I am astonished. I enjoyed travelling from Manchester until now. Sadly there is no airport in Crewe. Perhaps we will fly from East Midlands or Birmingham now.
I dread to think with all those children we saw, foreigners who may not speak english, the handicapped and the elderly what could happen if there was an emergency.
As my husband pointed out the man or woman running immigration at Manchester could be personally held responsible. And where were they? I for one would not want that responsibility on my shoulders.

| | Posted on 06 January 2008 14:37 | | | | We got back to Manchester Terminal 2 from Malta. Met at plane by wheelchair pushers. Our pusher pointed out that the electronic clocks were not on. A coincidence? Excellent. Got to passport control well actually passport chaos. Massive lines of people. We managed to bypass our flight. What is going on? Police in boiler suits machine guns? Its Manchester not the wild west. The passport officer was pleasant but looked tired. I thought sweatshops died out years ago. I would not be suprised if there is a crush. | | ............................................................................................................................................................................................. |

| | Posted on 04 January 2008 22:17 | | | City break away not to be ruined by the weather was spoilt by the goings on at Ringway or manchester international airport as it is now called. Having been hassled by airline crew to buy scratch cards my husband and I were squashed into the airport building at terminal 1 late on thursday night to wait nearly 2 hours.
It was frightening and claustrophobic.
Babies crying, elderly people being made to stand for what? To come back into our own country. I needed the toilet but the queue from the gate prevented me from getting to it. We eventually got into the area where passports are checked. I do not know how they can do their jobs.
A man who was stood there in a green shirt was directing people to desks. He said the officers checking passports had been working solidly for well over 4 hours without a break - is that legal?
I saw several police with machine guns. It felt like something out of an arnold shwarzenegger hollywood film. I counted four people checking passports. They looked really stressed and unhappy. I heard a man shout and be abusive at one of the officers. It was unbearable. My husband Roy, asked the officer if there was a reason for the delay.
I understand that planes arrive early and late very rarely on time and if you are like me want to get off a plane quickly because I do not like flying. I was given a leaflet to complain however reading other comments I am minded to contact my member of parliament. I do not want a dear john bog standard response. | | ............................................................................................................................................................................................. |

| | Posted on 04 January 2008 00:16 | | | | Arrived back from Germany to be greeted by an hours queue at Terminal one. Utter bedlam at passport control. Waited 60 minutes thousands of people waiting. There were a few armed police in the foyer. Unacceptable. Will be writing to my MP | | ............................................................................................................................................................................................. |
