Used the airport over the last 10 days - had to fly back to the UK due family bereavement, do try to avoid travelling at this time of year. Inbound Monarch flight from Gib 35 minutes early but had to wait 10 minutes for Menzies to supply steps. Straight through immigration - 9.30 pm Sunday evening). Return Sunday morning arrived early - 4.30am -knowing how busy it is checked in and straight through security! Very, very busy but everybody seemed to be reasonably happy as far as I could see. My good fortune couldnīt last - Monarch flight to Gib lack of staff at departure gate, just one person so vantage card holders etc all mixed in with the rest of us etc. Over 30 minutes late departing due to handling company - yes Menzies not getting the load sheet correct and passenger discrepancies but arrived back at Gib 10 minutes late so not so bad. Good to see the airport so busy no wonder both easy and Ryanair achieved over 90 per cent load factors in July.
By the way LTNman it is not mass immigration it is the free movement of people across the EU to work and/or live wherever they choose so please remember there are 3.5 million of us Brits who choose to do this in the rest of the EU. The only way this can change is to leave the EU no matter what the politicians pontificate about re-negotiation - it isnīt going to happen.
