International travel for the Easter holidays has got off to a bumpy start.
Thousands of people heading on their first trip abroad since coronavirus restrictions ended have been met with long queues, delays, and in some cases, cancelled flights.
Some airports and airlines have been struggling as passenger numbers gradually return to pre-pandemic levels.
And industry leaders have warned the situation isn’t going to improve for some time yet.
Manchester Airport appears to have been the worst hit after issues developed last weekend, while Heathrow, Gatwick and Birmingham have also been affected by delays and cancellations.
