Flew out of T1 on Sunday afternoon. Queues to the drop off were back almost to the Hilton Roundabout- thankfully our taxi driver had been warned by a colleague and came through the back way and dropped us at the Jet 2 entrance.
Queues inside actually not too bad (15-20 minutes for security) but the main departure lounge was heaving.
Our flight was an hour late departing (all bar one of the EZY flights in the hour before and after ours were delayed) and boarding was chaotic.
Speedy Boarders were given about 10 seconds head start over every one else (no pre boarding announcements, no call for pax with kids or special needs). The rear doors were only opened part way through the boarding process so there was a long slow wait in the rain for the forward steps.
