Leeds Bradford Airport has had a tough few weeks with a surge of passengers getting ready to fly for the Easter period.
Travellers reported facing 'horrendous' queues and chaos with passengers fearing they'd miss their flights. Queues were spotted stretching from one end of the airport to another with the fast track queue not much help as hundreds joined it.
Leeds Bradford Airport bosses were forced to issue a message online in a bid to forewarn passengers, with a spokesperson saying: ""If you're due to travel over the Easter period, please arrive at the earliest time your airline allows. You can help to minimise any delays by preparing for the security screening process."

The queues are said to be due to "industry-wide" challenges which include staff illness and staff shortages due to job loss during the pandemic. In an attempt to combat that, Leeds Bradford have put job applications up for full time, part time and flexible hours roles.
The jobs include security officers, terminal operations assistants, lounge hosts and cleaners. A full time security officer will be contracted to 40 hours per week on a 4 on 2 off shift pattern. A part time security officer will be contracted to 21 hours per week on a 4 on 2 off shift pattern. For this role, a second language is desirable.
The cleaning roles require flexibility as the role will require working from 6am - 6pm on a 4 on 4 off shift pattern. Lounge hosts offer permanent and seasonal contracts with various shift patterns.
