A warning has been issued to LBA travellers
Holiday goers are being urged to get "delay cover" after e-gates crashed at Leeds Bradford Airport and many other major airports across the UK.
This left travellers having to wait for manual passport checks on the busiest day for UK air travel since 2019, and has sparked fears that security staff will head on strike this summer. The delays occurred just days after thousands of people were unsure whether their holiday would go ahead at all, with British Airways cancelling flights last week due to an IT failure.
David Parker, Divisional Director at A-Plan Insurance, stresses the importance of protecting yourself against airport delays before going abroad. He said: "It’s never been more important to consider all eventualities when taking out travel insurance, as airport strikes are becoming a common occurrence, and unpredictable IT outages - like we’ve seen this weekend - mean travellers end up missing their flights.
