Big problems at some airports

I managed to get through security at Luton in around 10 mins yesterday and it wasn't fast track. That was around lunchtime. Pretty smooth really.
 
Once you actually get into Paris/Amsterdam etc trains are fantastic and much cheaper than flying to get around. Its usually the cost of the trains from the UK which make it unviable
Yep, we travel to Sweden frequently. At present that could mean a night in Hamburg, Copenhagen (or both) but may try the new Hamburg sleeper in future. Drops us off at the crack of dawn a twenty minute bus ride from our place. (y)
 
Just got through customs etc in Manchester, now on the train to Saltburn.

No probe at all, very quick to get through and no queues to speak of.

However, it is raining, thought this was summer!!!
Sis phoned me up yesterday afternoon from Oz, she said it's 15deg and we're all freezing, then she explained it's because of the clear skies 😄
 
I've gone through Manchester twice in last month, the main delay was the bag drop and baggage handling not security. From what I gathered ppl who were laid off /left during travel restrictions have found other jobs with less antisocial hours and better conditions and won't come back.
 

Looks like the training for the new recruits is going well 😂


Daughter flies out of Mcr to Iceland tomorrow morning on a school expedition.. after a couple of tough years for kids I’m hoping there’s no later minute problems as she’s desperate to get there!

Any tips on getting to Gothenburg from Northern England gratefully received. With child 🫣
 
We flew from LBA to Barcelona 3 weeks ago with Jet2 and had no issues whatsoever. Looking at everything going on at LBA these past few days/weeks, we seem to have got lucky!

Flying out from Newcastle on Friday, hoping we don't run into any issues. Not heard of any so far from Newcastle, so everything crossed.
Mate flew out from Newcastle this morning. Only had hand luggage and went through security in about ten minutes. Flight was on time.
 
Flew from Manchester last month. Paid for priority and it was worth every penny. It took about 10 mins from arriving to walking through duty free. The queues for non fast track looked bad. The problems were arriving back in Manchester. Waited 45 mins after landing for stairs to arrive to disembark, the pilot actually mentioned how utterly frustrated he was with the poor service levels airside at Manchester. We then had to wait nearly 2 hours for luggage. Flying out for some weekend sun from Newcastle tomorrow and just paid £6 for fast track which is less than a pint at the bar
 
At Munich airport waiting to fly back, no queues anywhere but so far an hour delay for the flight.
