Observer II Posted July 24, 2021 Report Share Posted July 24, 2021 Don't blame you Gaz; but wasn't it always like this, even before covid, queueing like cattle for the security checks - I gave it up years ago. 😷 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 except when shopping or going into the bank or into the football/rugby stadium...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallard12 Posted July 31, 2021 Report Share Posted July 31, 2021 This is not an a bragging issue, just a comment on this situation. Whether it’s London or Manchester, UK airports are a nightmare. I have claustrophobia, usually it’s to do with caves and such, but whenever I fly into or out of the UK airports I can feel the panic rising. I can walk thru Houston, Philadelphia or Nashville airports at any time of day and never even rub shoulders with another traveler. Most lines are reasonable in length and space is not an issue. I’m sure someone has had a bad experience, but I find that all US airports are bright, airy and generally crowd free. However, airlines are the scum of the earth and rate very close to lawyers as a species to be avoided. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
