Passengers have been told to arrive two hours before their flights are due to depart

Passengers flying in and out of Jersey over the Easter weekend have been warned to allow extra time for their journeys.

From Friday to Monday, more than 18,000 passengers are expected to travel in and out of Jersey Airport, and nearly 6,000 ferry passengers will be travelling between Jersey, France and the UK.

A Ports of Jersey spokesperson said: "We recommend arriving two hours before departure time for most flights and 90 minutes for Blue Islands.

"There may be queues at busy times but Ports of Jersey teams will ensure that everyone gets to their flights as quickly as possible."

Passengers are also advised to leave plenty of time to check in their hold luggage and clear security at the airport.
