Listen to the people
How to complain and get your message across to companies, MPs and MEPs

It seems that it's open season on airline passengers as Manchester airport has introduced a rip off £1 charge for plastic bags for security screening. These bags can be bought on the internet in relatively small quantities at around £11 to £12 a thousand, that's around a penny each. Not a bad profit really, buy for a penny and sell for a pound, just shows what you can do what you are responsible for enforcing petty rules and regulations and the traveling public has no choice. Better still if they complain you can make their life a misery.

This is a total rip off and amounts to nothing more than demanding money with menaces. Manchester airport management knows that passengers have to pass through security, otherwise they will not be able to travel, so they can pile on the profit with little chance of passengers complaining. If passengers do complain then the airport has the whip hand still because they can accuse passengers of being aggressive then delay them until they miss their flights.

Passengers needing to take medications etc don't have a choice but Manchester airport is ready, willing and able to impose more misery on passengers as it greedily shakes more money out of them at every possible opportunity.

If you have any choice AVOID Manchester airport, if you don't have a choice write and complain.

Manchester airport rip off
written by Judy, 20 July, 2009

I travelled through Manchester Airport and experienced all the hassle with the security. I did not have any change to buy a plastic so they accused me of being abusive ( which I was not and there were other people to prove it ) and they called the police on me. The police did not believe that I did not swear because the stuck up, rude supervisor made up a story and accused me of swearing at her. They not only took my make-ups but they took my medicines, hair clips that are not liquid as far as I know. They took my handbag and refused to give it back to me. I had all my belongings including my phone and purse in there. Absolutely disgusting service, AVOID if you can. I live in Manchester but I will rather fly from Midlands or Liverpool.
