    We flew home to Stansted yesterday late morning and didn’t have any problems at all. It was very busy around the centre point just after security but I knew to head straight to the gates, and yes, it was so much quieter…. A great tip picked up from travelling back in June.

    That EasyJet queue is the smallest I’ve ever seen it. It’s normally double that. Tenerife South is even worse. All the other Airlines seem to have it all organised. Also, they’re all SO hot, the aircon has definitely been turned down. I’ve noticed this in all four airports I have been to in the last two months. Two abroad and two in the U.K.

    Great video Alex. Brings back memories. I had a hire car so allowed myself three hours so I could park it and return the keys. Fortunately my Jet2 flight was mid morning so the queues were not too bad (Jet2 had plenty of staff on duty and they very quickly got through the queue) but the queue at Passport Control was bad as there was only 2 policemen on duty and the the aircon was not working so very hot. Love the aerial views of Cuber and the blue gorge. Have a great holiday, John

    We went through the airport yesterday to travel back to the UK approximately 12pm and it was no way near as busy as shown in your video, straight to check in desks and straight through security. The walk to the gates were empty corridors and straight to a desk for passport control. Amazing what time of day determines how busy it is. We were impressed with how easy it was at the airport and how they deal with security etc compared with the UK, it always seems such a hassle there. We always make sure we’re there at least 3 hours before when we depart the UK and was a bit sceptical at the time our bus transfer got us to Palma airport (which was about an hour and a half before our flight was scheduled to depart) but no need to be as we were soon at the departure gate.
