Passengers have been forced to climb through baggage carousel belts at the airport to find their own luggage due to staff shortages, a new investigation has revealed.
Video captured the moment desperate tourists and locals returning home crawled across the luggage conveyor belts at Manchester Airport so they could fetch their own bags.
The baggage pileup was so bad that two passengers had to climb into the airside baggage area.
The staff shortages were then highlighted after a passenger was heard telling the baggage handlers they'd been waiting more than an hour-and-a-half since landing from Turkey to get their luggage.
They then offered to help unload the bags to ease the pressure, according to The Sun.
