Mrs 1DC and i went through T1 at 0530 on 31/5 travelling on the early MON to Alicante, check in was swift and painless and security looked busy but only took about ten minutes. Airside was pretty full. The thing that shocked me was the smoking room, it was packed with smokers and many children. it was a shame to look through the window and see children sitting inside holding a coat or jumper to their faces. Surely children should be banned from such places..
