Thousands of people fly out of and into Manchester Airport each day and with summer now almost here many of us will be planning trips abroad.
With the airport being so busy, it can be handy to know that passengers can check security waiting times ahead of setting off on their travels. The airport lists estimated waiting times for each terminal on its website.
At the time of publication, none of the estimates were longer than 30 minutes.

Last year people reported huge queues and the airport advised people to arrive three hours before their flights, however this has now been reduced to two hours.
Manchester Airport advises: "To make your journey as smooth as possible and avoid unnecessary delays, we ask that you pay special attention to our security procedure."
And in a tweet last month, airport bosses laid out how people can avoid queues. The tweet said: "Flying from Manchester Airport soon? Prepare for your journey using our helpful guide.
"Remove large electrical items from your bag and place them flat in a tray. This includes laptops and tablets."
A video accompanying the tweet added: "Make sure you arrive at the earliest time specified by your airline. Make sure all liquids and gels, including hand sanitisers, are 100ml or less. Place them flat in a clear, sealable bag before arriving at security.
"Make sure to remove all large electrical items from your hand luggage. Place them flat in their own tray for screening."
