Chaos! by happypat

Chaos!

Just a diary shot for a very frustrating bank holiday sitting in Manchester airport waiting to fly to Cork.
Technical fault halted all air traffic in the UK so it was just bedlam.
No info just the odd announcement over the tannoy & then hope
as all passengers for Cork & Dublin to make our way to gate number 51. Went down loads of stairs onto the runway by a plane but ushered back inside where we were thrown out into Arrivals!
Make your own way home!
Anyway we have managed to book on a 9pm flight tonight so fingers crossed we get away at all!

I the chaotic security hall I didn’t realise they were still doing liquid checks which was OK as there were plastic bags available but I was cross as my tube if Liz Earle cleansing cream was too big & I had to bin it…. I felt like going back after & fishing it out!!!
I’m staying at a friends tonight so no straightening of photo.
Oh no! I’ve just been watching it on the news. Nightmare! Hope your flight later goes on time.

Oh Pat what a nightmare.. loosing you face cream reminds me of the time I lost the cute little Swiss army knife Kylie got me in Switzerland.. 😪

This is why I no longer care to fly. It was the unusual now it is the norm. Always something.

Oh dear so frustrating for all concerned

@julzmaioro Oh those little red army knives, Harry had one for years, they are so special. Face cream can be replaced!

@joansmor Yes I find short trips particularly bad…. Long haul airport check in is a doddle compared! That security check in! 🤦‍♀️

Made worse by mislaying my bank cards! Panic last night until I realised I had changed my bag at the last minute. All ok after I had managed to cancel one last night! Relief! I must get a better money system! 🤣🤣

So sorry you got caught up in this chaos, Pat. Enjoy your time in Cork.

Oh dear Pat, that's terrible. And losing your Liz Earle too, just adds insult to injury. I do hope you got there in the end
August 29th, 2023  
Oh my l trust that all will work out
August 29th, 2023  
Obviously saw the carnage on the news. Absolutely awful! Hoping it’s all sorted by next week when we go on holiday! 🤞🏻

Oh, no, so sorry you got caught up in it all!

Hope you are safely home by now. Sooooo irritating about the cream! It has been a nightmare for many. Sending oodles of love your way and hope you two are okay xxxx

@casablanca Thank you Casa & all for your caring comments! Back home now buy it cut a couple of days off our short break! Not grumbling as we missed nothing too important!
Rather fed up of airports!!

@happypat I can imagine! You won't be in a hurry to jump on a plane any time soon, I would think! Glad you are okay.
