Steinar BjørlykkeMarch 7, 2022The security here is beyond belief, they don’t even try to make things work.
One of the worst airports in uk. Immigration queues are just annoying. Avoid the epassport. And security checks in the way in is unorganised.
The duty free is a trap, run through as fast as possible!
Martin WezowskiMay 17, 2013the transfer security from US is ridiculous - today my stomach beeped in the metal detector, had to open my shirt up, he still looked suspicious. 10 peeps 30 minutes = ridiculous. I'm eating bombs- Peter CuypersAugust 18, 2014Nothing is good here. Massive queues in claustrophobic corridors. Endless stairways up and dow down. How in God's name did this airport receive an award? English humor?
Wifi is not as easy to get into as in Ireland but is free so can't complain 
Grazyna OOctober 17, 2014OK shopping for being such a small airport. You always have to take of your shoes at security... often very long waiting at security.
This is a shit shit airport. A cm of snow and they close it. Then the air bridge doesn't work. Then the queue for passport control is a mile long. They've probably damaged my luggage too!

Eugene SinkeviciOctober 6, 2014Very long walk with three lifts on the way from train station to Terminal 3
Jensen VanceNovember 4, 2011Be prepared to walk the long hallways of the old and new parts of the airport as the walking paths have always seemed to be under construction or broken down.
Disappointing as ever. Usual slow border control and particularly slow baggage reclaim. It’s really poor despite the millions they spend. Anywhere on the globe is more efficient than Manchester.
Joycelyn OngNovember 1, 2014Helpful services from customer services. Try to get some good bargain before flying off
Adam GreenwoodJuly 14, 2011Don't bring your own drinks, you must get rid of them before the departure lounge. Massage chairs are £1 for 3 mins.

What a s@@thole, but ar least the internet is good
Still Europe's grottiest airport. Low ceilings, bad lighting, cheap materials and chaotic layout. Greedy owners push more passengers through than the infrastructure can cope with. Avoid.
Chee LauJuly 15, 2018This is THE WORST airport I’ve ever been to in my life. Arriving is slow, and when you leave The security process is simple abuse from the staff, constant berating and shouting, this place is cray- Security lines are much better and staff are increasingly helpful.
Despite nominal 1st - world status luggage delivery is as slow anywhere.
Michiel le BlancJune 24, 2012Having to pay £1 for the plastic bag to put in your liquids is just ridiculous and an extremely unhospitable!
Nata LieOctober 14, 2011Do not come to the airport too early since there is nothing to spend time with before the check-in. You might need to sit on the floor.
Parking charges are scandalous! £2.50 just to pick someone up!
Miro BMay 6, 2014Strangely no border control out of the UK when you fly from a regional airport and then transfer through to an international flight
Kurtis SherryDecember 22, 2017Extremely slow security despite very few people waiting. Free Wi-fi only lasts an hour, then you have to pay £5 per hour or £10 per day which is ridiculous
Such a miserable airport - dark, dingy and depressing. Needs improvement
Free 60 minute wifi which is flakey at best, but you can't reconnect next time you only get this free hour once, ever! 👎🏼
Overcrowded. Unpleasant security check and once inside - nowhere to sit and get a drink to something small. Will try to avoid this airport next time.
Dirty, slow & disorganized airport. Security staff being rude and slow, and disembarking planes while keeping other people waiting to get to their gates. Avoid when possible.
