They've fucked up security at Liverpool so unless you're there about 3hrs before your flight you get caught in the massive que, so the greedy cunts have put a load of 'security fast track' machines so you can jump the que, £4 per person as well.

Yeah we stopped at the local Premier Inn the night before our flights so we could be there in plenty of time and we would of missed our flights if we'd of stayed in the queue, the best thing was the ticket machines were playing up so the Mrs spoke nicely to the security guard who let us through free of charge, I'll never fly from Liverpool again.

(Just realised I was spelling queue wrong as well :lol: fuck knows what I was thinking.....)

Bunch of money grabbing arseholes at Belfast Int, a quid a cigarette basically, that would be a dear 10 pack for a nervous flier who would maybe light up a few before their flight.

I don't think it's that bad. It's AFTER check in, so it's providing smokers with something they've had to do without thus far. That nervous flier wouldn't have been able to smoke anything before this, now they can drop a quid and light up.

On the other hand, the £1 drop off charge is daylight robbery.
