After an initial period of awkwardness we had a decent conversation. The problem is Manchester Airport are blind to criticism so no way it’s going to change. I’m told staff search is just as bad.
I guess. But I would think most people who do HBO would know not to take an iron as there will be one available at their hotel. I find MAN T3 security almost a breeze compared to the ambience of T1 security where all that is missing is dog handlers with muzzled Alsatians guiding you into the holding pens to go along with the yelling. It truly is a hellish airport
