Pret A Manger is much cheaper than Starbucks and the coffee is excellent
Frederic NuyttensDecember 3, 2014Joe's kitchen And coffee house is Great ! Try the camembert berry burger !
Free wifi, lots of parking options and plenty of food and drink options in each terminal
Get here early. Even getting there 2 hours in advance doesn't guarantee you won't be running for your plane anymore!
JennersJanuary 8, 2019£3 fee for dropping off outsider Terminal 3. There is a free drop-off zone without shuttle buses to alleviate traffic and £££.
SailorJanuary 27, 2019The staff here don't have initiative and everything is broken or out of service, it's massive and awkward without a lot of food options and far too many shops.
Pre-pay for your taxi with Airport Taxis outside arrivals as it's a set fare & loads cheaper than a Hackney cab!
Halley Whitten-ConnollyJuly 23, 2017We flew with Thomas Cook, the booking staff were very rude. But apart from that the rest of the experience at MAN was good. This airport makes it easy for traveling with children.
Good airport with reasonable facilities and good car parking near by
Lovely shops. Duty-free is actually cheaper than the High Street.
Changed the entrance to t1 multi storey . Drive through the drop off and turn right at the end (up ramp). Round the corner are the barriers.
I think the security is very strict therefore I’m happy BUT, the airport staff is shit at organising queues therefore allow an extra 15-30 minutes just to be at the safe side.
Not fond of the route into the Airport, can get kinda confusing. How about a route into the terminal then arrivals and departures. T2 is perhaps the easiest to navigate.
Spyros TheodoritsisNovember 12, 2021Check your gate at the airport website an hour before it's announced on the board.
Jummah prayer at terminal 3's prayer room at 1330 (summer) and 1300 (winter)
If u ride a train to get to the airport, better come at least 1/2 an hour early coz its a long walk to get to Terminal 3 from the train stop
Anton MavrinAugust 18, 2018This airport URGENTLY NEEDS ⚒RENOVATION🛠! C’mon, guys! Start doing instead of talking!
- JennersJanuary 8, 2019Security is extremely strict so prepare extra time because there will be delays.
T3: the worst airport terminal I've ever been in. Very long queue at the security, tiny lounge area, at least 15 min queue for an average sandwich. I'd say arrive early but there's no place to sit!
Use the valet parking option. More than off site but much cheaper than the on airport long stay and great service. Car waiting upon your return.
AWFUL airport, feels like it was once a cupboard and got haphazardly converted
S Gary FieldhouseSeptember 29, 2013Try the bar at Giraffe - T1 - service is excellent and the prices are ok as well!
Good one! Tower road is the place which you get the shuttle buses!
Seamus McQuillanFebruary 21, 2022Go early to get by the security checks, not very well organized at all.
4sq North West EnglandAugust 6, 2011Welcome to Manchester! Head to the railway station for frequent trains to the city centre as well as other destinations around the north of England.- Trent BoydDecember 1, 2018This airport is a great engineering feat in that it has been made almost entirely of scaffolding, gum and spit.
John SmithJanuary 25, 2011The airport was hard to get though due to it being that big. It is apparently the 6th biggest airport in the world and second biggest in the uk outside of heathrow the world biggest airport
The most greedy airport. Beware: Trolleys take coins but you won't get them back. You have to pay stg1 for Plastic bags for Liquids do when you're in London stock up on them if you use them.
Brendan MillardSeptember 8, 2014Cranky people at the boarding pass check.. Don't worry about giving them a smile, doesn't seem to make their day any brighter!
Shauna LawhorneNovember 8, 2010When passing by Olympic House make sure to find and pet Olly, a super sweet, and apparently quite famous, orange and white cat. Love her!
MarekAugust 24, 2018Another UK airport where you are forced to wait in the lounge before they announce gates at last minute. With the lounge full of loud tourists and screaming kids this airport was terrible experience.
jon accarrinoFebruary 23, 2013If you're traveling long distances (like to Liverpool), then hire a private taxi at the airport exit. It's cheaper than a street taxi.
Tom RiesNovember 18, 2011Smoking area is on level 2. Just take the escalator and follow the sing. Btw: It's an outside area - take you coat with you.
Prepare to never have been more frustrated with airport security than ever before. What a load of utter shite. And I've been to enough airports to know.
Natalia KędzioraApril 11, 2015Loads of places to eat and shop. Some gates require a pretty long walk.
Possibly the worst airport in the world. The security queues are insane, the technology is backwards. It just gets worst and worst with every year
The BA lounge is pretty good to get away from the tourist travellers.
Shyan TanJuly 9, 2016Haphazard airport. Confusing and always crowded. Restaurants always fill to the brim at departure lounges.
Martins DejusNovember 17, 2017Not very easy to find things here. Buses to car parks and car rentals God only knows what time they are running.
- 3 lounges for Priority Pass. Aspire was basic. Try one of the others. Try and pre-book if possible.
Prepare yourself to a looooong security queue when leaving from this airport
