A woman has described chaotic scenes at a UK airport - which saw her waiting more than FOUR hours to get through security.
Lucy Kenneally, 23, was flying back home to Newcastle, Northern Ireland, with her boyfriend Matthew, 24, after spending the weekend at Silverstone.
The pair arrived at Birmingham Airport at 6.10am - two hours ahead of their 8.40am flight to Belfast International.
Lucy claims the airport app said it would take '0-15 minutes' to get through security but when she arrived there was "hundreds if not thousands of people" queuing.
