Has the check in hall gotten any bigger? That was the real pain point on my last few trips.
The check in hall is more or less the same size it has been for the past 20 years or so, with the odd renovation done here and there to add kiosk style desks or make the new jet2 area. It's EDIs major let down. Even with the new check in kiosk style desks there is still the same basic problem which has plagued the airport for years....there is not enough space for all the passengers. Even when things are running normally, on buys days it's miserable.
A major expansion of the check in hall needs to take place, or a new facility needs to be built somehow, but there is simply no space to put one, unless they wanted to take out half the bus lanes in front of the terminal or remove all the landside shops to make space for passengers.
