Flying out of Manchester at 1.15pm - look for a couple who are really relaxed and look like they have no worries - that will be us after leaving the 3 kids at home for a weeks break!!!
You might not be so relaxed after experiencing Manchester's new security checks!!!! While I appreciate that there should be security, 7 out of 9 of us (including 2 toddlers and a 7 year old) were herded into a box with more being directed into it from behind and told to move forward! Each person was taken out and scanned and hand searched! Allowing for 2 hours to get through security, 1 hour spent at Easyjet's bag drop and a further hour in security meant we almost missed our plane!
