A young boy 'fainted' and collapsed to the floor as he waited with his family in an 'hour-long' queue to get through passport control at Manchester Airport, a holidaymaker has claimed.
Life on the estate next to Manchester Airport where passengers block drives and cowboys dump cars

On a boiling hot summer's day in Wythenshawe, the sounds of jets roaring over Ann and Arthur Barlow's garden is deafening. But it's not the sound of planes that bothers them - they've got used to that. What drives them mad is the scores of cars dumped on the pavement outside their semi-detached home.
Their son has been late for work several times after his van has been blocked in their driveway, usually by holidaymakers who leave their cars on the road, before making the short walk to Manchester Airport.
Ann has lived in the house since she was born - 65 years ago, but says after coronavirus travel restrictions were lifted last year, the situation on their street is the worst it's ever been.

The nightmare isn't unique to the Barlow family either. Dozens of people who live on the roads that surround the airport say their lives are being constantly disrupted by careless parking - and littering.
In some areas, such as Shadowmoss Road - which has a near-perfect view of the airport's runway - 'residents parking only' signs have been put up, and CCTV cameras installed by Manchester City Council. But it still doesn't appear to be deterring everyone.
And whilst residents like the Barlows will try to discourage holidaymakers from parking there, some claim a trend has emerged where "dodgy" meet and greet firms will dump customer's cars there during the night - supposedly when nobody is watching.
Speaking to the M.E.N, Ann Barlow pointed out several cars parked outside their house, just off Woodhouse Lane, that don't belong to them or their neighbours. "My son constantly gets his work van blocked in," she complains.
