Ryanair 19 Oct Stn - HHN - STN
Day trip to Germany, £10 out, £20 back with a checked in case. STN heaving with p/x for the early flights. All security channels manned and working with minimal hassle or delay.Flight out on time and full, nice day shopping in Gemany, flight back on time and full, passport control very quick and baggage on the belt within minutes of clearing passports.A good £30 worth and a pleasant experience. Tip for all - print off two copies of your on-line check in paper, on 2 different printers if possible - I have had mine rejected by the scanner, once,and it is a real faff going to a desk and getting a new agent issued boarding pass!
Hand luggage rules not strongly enforced; I saw man with a full size rucksack which he had diffculty in lifting with 2 hands get thru. It was way over-size and overweight and several people with more than one piece of luggage too.
