The best solution (from our point of view) is to put adventurous seniors (with or without wheelchair) and cola chugging youngsters who can afford £3.50 for fast track in one lane and frequent passengers for whom access to fast track is one of the few perks left in another lane.
The seniors and chuggers - and the couple who had so much STUFF i reckon they had problems ahead getting on board - were in the priority lane. With me behind them.
This priority lane is on the right. The regular line on the left. The central line is for fast-track paying guests. And it was empty.
Manchester is the only airport I've been through with three security lines. Or three lines I've noticed.
i think what has happened is the queues have been re-aligned, and those of us fast-tracked as a perk have been allocated the priority line, leaving fast-track the exclusive preserve of Those Who Pay.
