Manchester Airport (MAN) in Manchester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

It's just like being in 3 Heaven

Still the worst airport by far,nothing straight forward here

I bet you will not find a more complicated road network for an airport elsewhere in the world. One million roubdabout, parking names that make absolutely no sense like "meet & greet" for example. You'd expect this is the parking where you'd go to meet and greet arrivals but it's nothing like that. Signs that encourage you to use both lanes but at the very end there are cones that obstruct one of the lanes so it's causing havoc upon approach to the drop off. Employees who sneeze and spit on your dash if you leave your car (my video is on youtube...)

It was chaos and the belt wasn't working to put are cases on half hour delay

Clean and tidy but the drop off and pick up charges are a joke.

From parking to getting through security took 12, yes 12 minutes! Quick, courteous and pain free. Parking is extortionate, but everything is great!

Quickly through passport control and on a train home.

Perhaps one of the worst airports I have been to.

Dirty, crowded, and very very expensive car park

Abysmal place. Passengers just a massive cash cow. Still the worst airport on planet earth.

It's OK for an airport... possibly the world's most expensive WH Smiths!

They need to get the moving pavements going to T3 from the station 1.pint ot stella, 1 pint of mohou, 1 med rose ,1 zero coke, HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK? EFFIN £28!!! Tables a mess sticky,for 28 they should be covered in rose petals while a girlie give one a massage!if i charged this kind of money i would be legislated against..oh i have

Shocking £12 to drop off/pick up, was told it was free due to refurb going on

Worst service I've ever had between virgin and klm airlines would advise people not to use

Dilapidated, broken, disgrace. It is meant to be the UK's north west hub and fails at every step. No travelators work between T2 and T1. Scruffy corridors, T1 to T3 is a walk outside in the rain. Here again to pick up, 20 quid to pick up cos plane had to wait to land, arrivals list only showing page 2 /2. Hangar Cafe served stale banana bread, coffee OK. The arrivals area T1 small, dirty

I love this airport. I used all terminals. Each has cafes/shops, toilets, there is enough recreation for everyone. Very convenient parking. You can come here, reserve parking in advance and leave your car for as long as you need. The car is picked up at the terminal from where you are departing and can be picked up upon arrival at the flight/terminal indicated by you, which is very convenient.

Went through check in really quick, pick up and drop off a nightmare and a rip off, service bars and food outlets good.

Very clean and not very chaotic airport. The control staff is very fiscal for no reason.

Prices in duty free no cheaper than supermarkets,they should be minimum 20%cheaper just with the Vat off. Good and drinks in w h smith and all the other outlets is much dearer.better to make sure you have your own food and drink before going through passport control

Queue, queue, queue etc. No it hasn't changed still queue, queue, queue! Also what a rip off for short stay parking! The automatic barriers should say "stand and deliver" when you exit! It is definitely an unpleasant experience every time I fly from here. I used the train service for the first time and despite the prolonged "express" train from the airport I found the service very good. Four stars, but only for the train connection to and from it.

Car park rip off. You only find out that the multi story at T1 is prebooked only when you get there then charge you £5 to get out. Parking in short stay for <2 hrs was over £20. Daylight robbery

All staff are very friendly. For one of the busiest airports in Britain the wait isn't too long and they get through everyone as quick as they possibly can. As far as airports go this is one of the better ones most definately. Still agree

It's an airport. Planes leave for far off places and arrive from far off places here.

Terminal 1 feels a bit dated. The short stay car park is pricey. So time pickups carefully. Used terminal 3 this time. Think it's a bit nicer than terminal 1. Used Meet and Greet. Convenient and pretty efficient and perhaps just about worth the cost.....maybe

Clean fast and efficient,and friendly people

Easily thro the formalities, Breakfast in Girraffes excellent

You can't get past security more than 3 hours before your flight. So if you have a long connection you are stuck airside and basic catering etc.

Everything was super organized!

There's always room for improvement but it's pretty close to great already. Staff are very helpful and paying for FAST TRACK security and then passport control was so very worth it!

Great airport big and very quick to pass through luggage and security.

The parking charge is a scam. It says first 5 minutes is £5. it takes more than 15 minutes to get around the car park and then they charge more. Just money making tactics

Landed T1 and then had to get to T2. Clearly marked but moving walkways not working so a long trek for 2 x 70+ year olds lugging hold cases! Maybe a light tram system linking terminals will be included in the ongoing £1billion+ development work?

Airport is good 👍 But car 🚗 park is expensive 😫.

Always quick there good airport all round

Terminal 1 is the worst one I ever seen in all my 100s flights I took

Going out was a breeze, coming back could have been better if they had all the auto passport readers working

1 person on the desk checking people in, took us an hour and a half. Then had to rush through security because of this. Why come 2 hours before the flight to stand in a queue with one person checking us in. Got to the gate and they said I’d been accidentally off loaded, had to delay the flight an hour, I could see my bag on the tarmac by the plain. Eventually took off but Manchester airport what a joke!!

Three terminals with some distance between them. Fairly straightforward and clear.

It's an airport.... helpful staff, quick security

No problems getting in or parking

I parked for the first time at the airport Drop and Go. It was so easy and the staff were super helpful!

Usually busy good range of shops duty free air side.

It was all good until I went to get a holts bitter and they had ran out . Lucky I didn't give a minus 19

Another busy evening in the Airport

Quite a poor airport in some regard. staff often rude or unhelpful. Organisation is not brilliant

Great facilities! It has train, coach, bus and tram stops so you don't need to travel in and out via car or taxi unless you really need to. Nice clean quiet waiting areas, good security, everything well organised

To busy staff misleading people who seem to not have a clue to help people using the airport

It's an airport with planes. Very expensive parking

Easy to navigate your way round . There are plenty of shops in duty-free. Loads of places to eat but rather expensive. Drop off fees are expensive for drivers. Phone signall very poor.

Very good but I had to pay £5 pounds justs to dop someone off

Absolute brill. Cases off the fastest ever seen. We picked up cases then car fro meet n gteet and were on our way in record time. Well done Manchester and GB

Very busy as always. Fast and good timing through security

Really quick at security today.

Lift not working and via escalator you can go up but not down. Charged me twice because you can drop but you can't drop. Complete mess.

Flew from terminal 1 with easy jet, staff at bag drop off were not very cheerful, seemed moody but I guess everyone is allowed a day off, but all the same mood on the same day ? Staff at the grain loft were no better, service their is poor, menu and the place needs a complete over hall, need to order on your phone, that's when you can get WiFi to work, and if you can find the food you want on the menu, how ever flight attendants were cheerful, helpfull couldn't ask for nicer staff their.

Very helpful as I needed assistance. Friendly staff

Spot on. It's budy as school holidays but they have good places to eat. Also, seating areas with charging stations.

I needed disabled assistance the service was excellent. I was assisted by 2 very pleasant young men.

Decent airport but obviously not as classy as the other international airports

Everything quick and easy; friendly, scrupulous security; plenty of places to eat/drink, and quiet areas too.

Great food, clean and tidy with good service

One of the worst airports in Europe. Old, dirty, completely built up. Devices in the security checkpoint (at least in Terminal 1) correspond to the standards of Queen Victoria's time, screening with candles would be faster and more effective... The catering offering is also beyond good and bad. The airport could be a nightmare for people with disabilities, narrow and lots of stairs

I have been a frequent flyer and have used this airport for many years. Despite recent slight improvements, MAN airport remains totally disorganised, chaotic, and very poorly signposted for those unfamiliar with the place. Security is by far one of the worst in the UK, with unfriendly and rude staff handling every single piece of luggage with complete lack of sensitivity and unnecessary hostility. Arm yourself with patience and make sure you ask for directions when changing terminals. Sorry guys, you keep failing.

Drop-offs are easy - Pick-ups are a nightmare but it is what it is 🤷

Easy to find the correct terminal

So we pre booked parking - worked a treat. Arrived 2 hours before a domestic flight - took an hour to check in! Bag had to go through bag check. Flight on time. Arrival good. NO BAG!!! Sometimes they don't get put on when they go through bag check apparently!!!! And my 14YO daughter is off to sea for 2 weeks. Let's hope its found and couriered safely before departure before she needs to buy another sleeping bag and other items......what a welcome to the world of independent travel.

I can't believe they offer a free drop off but charge for a pick up ...why are all our airports charging ridiculous amounts for this ...

As a poor soul that's had to go through this place literally several hundreds of times, I can confirm it deserves its 'worst airport in the world' award, and in truth should have won it for decades. Honestly, I could go on for hours. But I'll break it down to a few of the very annoying points. Where do I start? Toilets: T1: They are worse than toilets in a municipal park. I'll leave it at that. There are some that don't look like they've been cleaned in years. T2: Brand new and there's queues, QUEUES (in the men's toilets!!) even when it's not busy! Seriously guys??? And then there's the layout of them. 20+ stones and cubicles, 5 wash basins and 2 hand dryers (with the heaters switched off). I mean seriously? And you have to go back into the toilet area to get to the hand dryers. Who thought this up? Parking: Parking and drop off is a nightmare and it's like getting mugged. (By the way, looking at their annual accounts, they make as much through drop off and parking as they do from controlling the incoming and outgoing airplanes now.) The most expensive parking of any airport I've ever known. Over £6 to drop a relative off because they want you to 'get public transport'... But it's miles away from anywhere. Utter theft. Maybe the part owners, the local council, think Mancunians and visitors to the City deserve a holiday tax? I haven't parked there for years as it's much better value to get a cab.... from Inverness! Madness. Security experience: Basically it's like that Karens Cafe place but in an airport. They basically make you completely empty your bag into the tray, then moan at you for doing so. They are the worst advert for the jovial and friendly nature of Mancunians ever. Honestly, one end tells you to keep wires in your bag, then your bag gets yanked and the other end barks at you for not taking them out. Every blooming time! This is classic Manchester Airport Logic, too. If you do anything annoying to them like flying out of T1 then coming back through T2 then you can enjoy a walk that is about 4 miles long because they've stopped the buses going terminal to terminal to pick people up people that want to go to the various car parks. They did think this through by putting huge long walking escalators in, but, of course, they refuse to switch any of the walking escalators on in Manchester airport because they cost money....like the air con or the heating!!! Seriously. Can anyone tell me when they were last working? Summary; This is the tip of the iceberg. I could literally go on for hours. Charging for the trolleys that help families carry their suitcases to the door, for instance - just such a horrible practice. They should be ashamed of themselves. The whole place is shocking and has been for decades. I have guests that fly in from all over the world and I'm constantly told by them what a shocking customer experience it is. There's no defence for it. They're right. It's so embarrassing!!!

Nice, spacious. But parking and charges were 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨.

The travelators,moving walkway between the railway station and terminals have not worked for years,not enough lifts to terminals,the check in and security areas are shabby and not at all welcoming compared to other Airports.For BA flights to London there is no seating at the gate.Other terminals often are crowded with not enough seating and toilets,for a city like Manchester this airport is dated and needs a complete update,and become traveller friendly.

Welcoming airport, feels like home

From the time plane touched down, we were through customs and gad collected our baggage with 30 mins.

Good, but need more departure info boards

Neat, with clear directions good WiFi and courteous staff

Good airport, but there is one thing that I don't understand: One time our flight got delayed by one hour and the people said no reason. Other than that, it's a good airport.

T2 straight through security and baggage

The only downside is that the direction to the train bus station is only indicated from outside the airport but not from inside.

A very poor representation in Terminal 3 for our great city!

Droppings of at Manchester is a rip off £5 we were only there for five minutes. The barrier at the exit are a nightmare the machine to pay does not respond very well all the people trying to exit were calling for assistance.

I hate this airport with a passion, especially T3. Non refundable luggage trollies! Homeless people wandering around begging when you leave arrivals and extortionate parking charges are just a small variety of things you don't get at properly run airports. It's little wonder it keeps getting voted the worst airport in the UK!

Airport staff very friendly and helpful,plenty of shops and food.

It's such a big airport, it's important to give yourself plenty of time just to get around. Check in is flawless, staff are friendly, it's clean, modern and if you need special assistance, they're fantastic with the help and support. JetPark buses could be more frequent and in sync with flight arrivals but other than that, a great airport!

The place is ridiculous. Charging to drop off and pickup. Puts me off even going. It costs more than the car used in diesel! Rant over.

The streets are spacious and beautiful

Terminal 1 lounge if filthy and litter everywhere. Gent toilets were not clean and toilet seats loose. Water and tissue all over the floor. Where are all the cleaners that are usually around ?

Arrived early, and the process seemed to go smoothly. Not sure what happens when loads of people are around.

Worst airport ever...would have been easier navigating our way from terminal to terminal via the stars rather than guessing our way due to the lack of signs...totally behind the times...

Never really had any issues here, quick smooth, organised, clean, helpful staff

Absolute nightmare very disorganised

Terminal 3 is quite awful. Not enough seats, hardly any shops, no seats at the gates. Definitely the poor cousin of terminals! If anyone is in any way unable to stand for a long time please do ask for special assistance and don't assume you'll be able to find seats.

Much improved service, absolutely no delays.

Getting better year on year, well managed with fantastic front line staff, especially as they are there to enhance your experience given it's your annual holiday. The cleanliness overall is exceptional. The airport has been heavily critised for their fee's for drop off / pick up charges, and I feel it is justified. (It never affects me as I always drive to the airport and use the excellent services of Jet Parks.... ) But with technology as it is, (I do understand the airport's trying to stop people parking up for half an hour or more due to delays etc), but could not a system be introduced where you pay for how long you are there, in say 10 minute increments, (this may already happen, as I said, I don't use this facility) to prevent people just parking up and waiting. That aside, it truly is a fantastic airport these days. On my return to the UK this morning, Border Force seem to be getting better in getting people through passport control, but obviously, that depends on the time of day unfortunately.

Very confusing when trying to park and rediculasy expensive

Normally go to the Airport Viewing Park but this time tried the Airport Runway Pub, Wicked place, well recommend.

Waited almost an hour before luggage was finally taken off the plane.

Good experience apart from que while exiting with only 1 lane from short stay T1 carpark, with a driver taking 10 minutes to exit, and having to pay £10 for more than 30 minutes stay.

Long walk everywhere, from gate to plane. Long walk to pick up points. Pay for everything and all pay by card . Difficult if from another country.

Well laid out good commentary on loud speakers.. If you love planes you need to go!

The lounges have seen better days. Torn furniture and a minimal selection of food and drinks. Wouldn’t bother if I didn’t have Dragon Pass.

Not much seating for a busy airport and food/drinks very over priced. As airport go luggage check in was quick and luggage pick up was quick when landed on our return. Toilets clean .
