Kate Middleton and Prince William were spotted queuing up for a flight to Manchester with budget airline FlyBE, the Daily Mail has reported.

And because FlyBE only offers economy and economy plus class, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge simply strapped themselves in amongst other members of the public - although they did have bodyguards present.

The couple had been attending the wedding of Zara Phillips - granddaughter of the Queen - and Mike Tindall, the captain of the England rugby team, in the Scottish city.

A spokesman for Manchester Airport told the newspaper that with Ms Middleton and Prince William now living in north Wales, "we were hoping to see them more often and become their local international airport of choice and we are looking forward to welcoming them through our doors over the coming years".

The royal airport lounge has also been given a makeover to accommodate the couple on their next visit.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry boarded an easyJet flight from Edinburgh Airport to London, although the news resource did not know which south-east travel hub he was heading to.

Ms Middleton and Prince William recently flew back to Heathrow Airport after the overseas tour in Canada and the US.
