An airport boss has slammed a recent social media hack doing the rounds that details a devious way some passengers are beating the queues.

The chief of the UK's largest airport revealed that people are pretending they need special wheelchair assistance in order to speed through the Heathrow terminals.

@WolfJenko wrote: "Faked hurting my leg to get through security faster and onto the plane back from Ibiza." "If you go on TikTok that is one of the travel hacks people are recommending - please don't do that we need to protect the service for the people who need it most." Other airports have reported a rise in the number of passengers requesting special assistance, with Birmingham reporting mobility support bookings have risen by a third.
