From the BBC article:
”Earlier this week, Belfast International Airport urged passengers "to allow two hours to process through Central Search before heading to Airside departure gates".
Its Head of Security, Nabeel Gill, said it was "dealing with unprecedented numbers at the airport, which means it will take extra time to reach departure gates".“
How about no, instead sort out your mess. Peoples travel days are already long enough without having to add two hours because the airport can’t handle the traffic it has worked so hard to generate.
So as not to just sound like a rant with no solutions...as a customer I can see clearly two things that need to change:
1. Dedicated areas for people to pack up again
2. Staff patrolling and moving on those people who stand and re-dress as the trays exit scanners all while blocking others from passing through.
