Many exhausted travellers could be seen wearing facemasks amid the bug outbreak.
Other photos showed people standing close together in line as they waited to check in for their flight.
The images come despite experts warning that social distancing is the best way to slow down the spread of the deadly bug.
The UK has so far recorded more than 1,200 deaths with around 20,000 cases confirmed.

And where you do come into contact with other people, experts advise you keep two metres - or 6ft - between you and any other people.
Keeping a distance will make it less likely for droplets from the nose or mouth to land on you when they sneeze or cough.
The virus is transmitted by droplets in the air, settling on surfaces and being picked up by others - or when droplets land directly on you.
Public Health England says: "Avoid non-essential use of public transport, varying your travel times to avoid rush hour, when possible".
Supermarkets in particular have cracked down on close contact between shoppers.
Most major grocers have introduced social distancing measures which include limiting the number of shoppers allowed in stores at one time, as well as asking customers to remain two metres apart.
It comes after Waitrose was accused of "banning" couples from shopping together because they clog up queues.
Some supermarkets have introduced screens around checkouts to protect workers, plus they're limiting key items so everyone can have access to goods.
Tesco has also just limited the overall number of items in online orders.
