'My experiences couldn't have been more different...'
The unmistakeable orange and blue liveries of easyJet and Ryanair are ten a penny at Manchester Airport. The budget airlines have much in common, and are the favoured choices of many holidaymakers looking for a getaway.
I've also been on countless short-haul flights where it can often feel as if you're about to land as soon as the plane's wheels have left the runway. But being treated like royalty in business class is a rarity for the vast majority of us and when we set off on a family holiday it's far more likely that we'll fly with a budget airline such as easyJet or Ryanair.
I remember being blinded by the bright sun as the pilots smiled and pointed out the various controls. Nowadays such an experience would never be allowed; as is smoking on a plane even though many still bear the ashtrays in the arm rest. As I'd also treated myself to a pass to Escape Lounge I had left plenty of time - or so I thought - to drop off my suitcase. But as I got off the lift I was met with what can only be described as a scene of utter chaos.
