If you are lucky you can do the half hour counting from the passport control. But not often.

Definitely unrealistic Andysmum :-0

I’ve never been able to get off a plane that quickly ;-) ;-)

lol what planet are they on indeed? You are correct, when we land, we are still on board for at least 10 minutes before we can get off!

Whoever wrote this obviously doesn't travel with us lesser mortals!!

OH has been away in Greece and was flying into Manchester this afternoon, landing at 1456. Checking the website for his arrival, I found the following for "arriving passengers".

1456---------Arrival

1503---------Passport Control

1511----------Collect Luggage

1526----------Arrivals Hall


I don't know about you, but I have been on flights where we are still on board the plane after about 20 minutes, so to suggest it is possible to get from the plane to the Arrivals Hall in just 30 minutes seems somewhat unrealistic - unless they are referring to Royalty!!

We always allow a minimum of about an hour, and even more as we get less mobile.
