Arrived back into MAN last night on the late FRA flight and it brought home what shambles it
can be. Got off at the end of C pier and after marching all the way around that lovely gate area right at the end we were greeted with all the moving walkways out of action. That was a shock...
Got towards the Passport Control are and could see it was mobbed all the way back out into the corrdior. Ah, but that doesn't matter for moi as I have Iris to come to the rescue!. Was it working ?.... 25 minute queue to get back into my own country as they had the grand total of 2 staff checking UK/EU passports. This when they know how busy it gets at that time and the queue is back down Pier C.
Just to add to the fun there was only one car park payment machine working in T1 International Arrivals (so another 10 minute queue) and only one of three barriers to get out so people were having to reverse to change lanes etc. Oh and the missus said the womens toilet was closed.
