“@TUIUK absolutely disgusted with lack of foresight and comms. Stood in queue to check-in to find our holiday cancelled. Cannot speak to anyone at TUI on the phone. If expecting cancellations…which you were….put better contingency arrangements in place. #bristolairport,” read another tweet.

Bristol Airport has since apologised for the ongoing chaos seen claiming that the Platinum Jubilee is likely to be the busiest period since before the pandemic.
“The Bristol Airport team and business partners are working hard to ensure all customers have a smooth and easy journey through the terminal. We’re sorry that this morning there were longer queues at security,” stated a Bristol Airport spokesperson.
