DON’T MISS

However, Britons have faced travel chaos at airports which may last into the summer months as the industry struggles with staff shortages.

Heathrow boss, Nigel Milton, said passengers were partly to blame for the lengthy queues over the Easter weekend.

He said: “What we have seen is that the rejects of hand luggage is about twice the level it was in 2019 because people have forgotten they’ve got to take liquids out, even though all the signs are there, even though we’re saying it to them.”

Tourists are advised to travel to the airport with lots of time to spare to make sure they can clear security for their flight.
