Flying this Bank Holiday Weekend?
Almost a third of a million passengers are set to jet off from Manchester Airport over the next four days for the August Bank Holiday getaway.
331,000 passengers are expected to travel between Friday 24th and Monday 27th August for holidays across the world.
With extra staff drafted in to help, the August Bank Holiday is one of the busiest times of the year for Manchester Airport, with many people snatching one last break before their children return to school.
Top destinations include European hot spots like the Canaries and Mallorca although more people are venturing further afield to Dubai, New York and Toronto.
To help keep queues to minimum, Manchester Airport is reminding passengers to familiarise themselves with the current security restrictions before they travel.
“For a hassle free start to your holiday, travellers would be well advised to check the latest security information before leaving home” said Mike Fazackerley, Manchester Airport’s Director of Customer Service and Security. Passengers who have checked the hand luggage restrictions arrive at the terminal well prepared and have a far smoother experience as they go through security.
