A border officer tells i staff have been drafted in from other airports to help
UK in secret talks over financial turmoil at IT giant - that could hit benefits and NHSOne traveller made it to her gate with just “a minute to spare” after delays at the Midlands airport caused by construction work and confusion over hand luggage liquid limits.massive queues which backed up outside of the airport, passengers said they are still having to wait in line for hours before even reaching security checks – often spending longer waiting than the time they spend flying.
Since last month, Birmingham had allowed all passengers to keep liquids in containers of up to 100ml in their hand luggage, and not remove them for checking, as a result of the new security scanners. But the DfT has now asked for liquids to once again be placed in plastic bags and removed from hand luggage – as has been the norm up until this year.
But as she got further along in the queue, Ms Buck discovered the separate line of passengers who had been fast-tracked were on planes due to take off after her own. “If I hadn’t asked the fast-tracked people in front of us what time their flight was, I don’t think we’d have made ours in time,” she said.
The university researcher said she was eventually ushered into the fast-track lane after notifying staff that her flight was scheduled to take off imminently.
