Busy Airport. Heed seriously, the advice of being here 3 hours before your flight. The queues could be very long for security clearance and could even start earlier for you if you have "oversized baggage"

There's a walking link to all the terminals from the bus and train stations.

Return through Manchester Airport is fast. You can get cabs from the lobby, or you can also access the bus or trains from here too.

A very genuinely, super fast service is provided at Manchester Airport. Plenty of parking spaces at reasonable prices, quick and easy check in procedures if you don’t get held up and lots of shops and restaurants for when you’re waiting to board your plane. One thing I found was that there tends to be a lack of staff to ask question so coming prepared with as much information is essential before you arrive.

Big airport, terminal 3 is not very convenient, there's nothing on the ground floor, not even a place to sit. When you go through the check in then it's more normal, but there are few shops and restaurants. But all in all a good airport.

Gorgeous airport. T2, bright and clean. Walkway from train station is long but lots of places to sit and relax and moving walkways. Hotels are on the way to the terminal. Bright and clean. Very impressive.

If I could, I would give 0 stars.

During my lifetime I have travelled through many airports and this one is by far the worst. The staff were rude and unfriendly, all machines were slow and everything took twice as long as it should. Furthermore, the toilets did not have toilet paper and were unsanitary.

When we first arrived on the tarmac, the pilot told us that there would be a delay since the ground staff are not able to get the bridge connected to the plane(??) and that the pilot was not able to understand the reason for this. 30 minutes later, we get let off the plane and walk to baggage collection, where we spend an hour waiting for our baggage. When I asked staff what was taking this long, he very bluntly stated that staff shortages and technical difficulties.

Departing from the airport was an even worse experience.
This airport has the capacity to use all 14 of their security check points, and yet we also waited 1 hour for security only to find out only 2 are open. When you get to security, they only let one group/ one passenger get out their bags and electronics etc. meaning this process took way too long. After security I arrived in the airport itself, where my flight had been delayed over an hour. Once we get on board, we get informed that the ground staff are nowhere to be found and the luggage of previous passengers is still on board and this would cause more delay.

Very dissatisfied with this airport, considering even smaller airports with less staff and less resources are able to get me through as a passenger in 20 minutes. This airport needs to either lessen the amount of flight or find more staff. I do not recommend flying through here.

I can imagine lots of people having a wide range of experiences here from excellent to appalling. Our visit this time was OK. We flew from terminal 1. Arriving by car we used meet and greet this was easy to find and relatively easy to use. The departure entrance is just across the road. Checking in was speedy...did it on line b4 we arrived. Flew with easyJet. Then getting through security was a pain, we walked forever, and took a lift to get to security as there seemed to be maintenance work in areas. Security staff seemed to bark instructions at people and it can only be likened to being tret like herded cattle. Once in the departure lounge things are more relaxed and there are plenty of places to shop, eat and drink.

Used the new T2 for the first time, much much better than the old one, nice environment, through security in 10 minutes and friendly team too. I feel there aren’t enough places to get a drink, lots of queues to enter so needs additional locations, but there are a decent selection. Toilets feel small too. But a significant improvement overall

Good location overall, no shortage of parking (of mixed quality), and well supported by many hotels.
We have found check in (various airlines, mainly Jet2) and security to be very speedy, but the air-side facilities to be pretty underwhelming.

Anecdotally, we've heard even aircrew be dismissive of the design and layout of the place. It seems like too much space given to lots of retail and hospitality outlets, but haphazard arrangement and lack of seating/general space spoil the experience. Even at 0500hrs on a summer's Monday, I wasn't impressed in any way. I'd hate to suffer it on a Saturday or Sunday.

A reminder, if you chose Manchester airport, that you are often utterly at the mercy of the motorway gods as to when you arrive there. We were subject to a 4 hour delay southbound the day prior to our flight. That'd have been a horror had it been the day of our departure.
