Then it was thousands of passengers queuing ahead of us for passport control. From the gate, we were taken in a buggy to another holding area for passengers needing special assistance.
Despite the masses of passengers at border control in front, everyone was patient and appreciative of the difficult and stressful conditions the staff were working under. All of the immigration desks were fully manned.
I was escorted to walk a short distance in border control to get to another wheelchair the other side to the special assistance lane. Fortunately a kind porter helped us through this and helped find our luggage, I gave him £10.
We were through everything in about 2 hours.
Harrisop48 collected us from the short term car park in terminal 3 and chaos traffic in and around the airport. Peter what a saint you were and ever so patient, thank you sir!
What is everyone up to?

Morning Phil,
Glad Jessica and yourself had a good flight and navigated the terminal without too much fuss and delay.
How long are you staying in Belfast for ?
Hope your passport retrieval goes without a hitch and the Guinness hits the right spot.
Enjoy your stay
