Mixing Domestic and International Arrivals at Manchester
How do Manchester Airport get away with mixing arriving passengers from the Common Travel Area (Eire, Channel Islands, Isle of Man) and the UK with international arrivals?
I give you an example: I arrived this week from Spain in to T1. There was also a flight from Londonderry, Dublin, Guernsey and Orlando arriving at the same time. We all poured in to the immigration hall and it was a nightmare! There were passengers everywhere, none of them knowing where to go and some going through the channel reserved for the 'Irish' flights, and so by-passing immigration altogether. No-one seemed to really care. I would have thought this was a major security breach and contravened DfT regulations. Does it?
