Air passengers have been warned to remember hand luggage rules when they go to the airport.

Terminal 1 at Manchester Airport re-opened at 11:50am on 17/09/2010 after it was evacuated at 08:50am as a precautionary measure while police investigated a suspicious bag.

At approximately 8.50am Friday 17th September, Terminal 1 at Manchester Airport was evacuated while a suspicious bag was investigated at the main security search area by Greater Manchester Police.

An evacuation is a standard precautionary measure while the investigation is completed to ensure the safety of our passengers and staff.

The bag was identified by security staff as part of the normal hand baggage security process in Terminal 1.

Although an investigation by specialists from Greater Manchester Police confirmed that the bag was not a threat, we would like to pay tribute to our highly trained security staff. They view millions of x-ray images but any suspicious items have to be taken seriously to ensure the safety of our passengers and staff as was the case today.

Around 1200 passengers and 20 flights in Terminal 1 were affected by the disruption. Operations at Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 were not affected by the evacuation of Terminal 1, which was closed for approximately three hours.

The research carried out by online travel agency www.holidays-direct.co.uk has revealed the most popular holiday destinations travellers searched for online in the last six months. The study monitored which destinations travellers searched for on their website and has shown a noticeable increase in results of non euro holiday resorts

6.  Croatia – Dubrovnik
7.  Dubai
8.  New York

Non Euro holiday resorts grew in popularity in 2009 due to the exchange rate between the euro and the pound and value for money aspect, a highly important factor for UK holidaymakers since the recession.

The all inclusive holiday trend continued to grow in popularity in 2009 as a budget friendly option for many families and couples alike, with all inclusive holidays to Egypt and Turkey being most popular.

Bookings for package holidays to Europe have increased greatly as holidaymakers want to know they are covered in the event of 3rd party failure for example and for peace of mind. Destinations such as Tunisia, Croatia and Bulgaria are the most popular for package holiday deals.
