Manchester – Frankfurt – Berlin

Lufthansa.
Leaving Manchester was a bit of a challenge. After finally finding where the plane was leaving from we got to a security area. We thought leaving Singapore with the plane carrying on to USA was heavy security but this security check was on another level, by far the most officious I have endured in a long time. Belts off, Shoes off etc, small plastic bags of liquids like something we dealt with just after 9/11.
After going through the body scanner it showed two waring triangles on the screen in my crotch area. The guy had his stick scanner hovering around trying to work out what it was. After a while of feeling me up and scanning me I asked if he wanted me to take my Jeans off but he then gave up and let me through putting it all down to the rivets in my Jeans.
The plane ended up leaving about 20 minutes late and we made our connecting flight at Frankfurt heading to Berlin by mere minutes, our bags ended up on a later plane and this was only the second time in all our travels a bag has gone missing, but this time two bags.

Update: Bags were located and are due to arrive this afternoon, 26hrs after our flight did.
