Going from strength to strength
Review of Manchester (MAN) by linsta

Advantages: Ever expanding
Disadvantages: Flight supplements can be quite expensive

Manchester Airport is situated just outside the city of Manchester. It is very easily accessible to many cities in the North of England. Each terminal at the airport has its own motorway exit which is very clearly signposted, and there is an internal bus service to help you get around. The airport boasts 3 terminals and 2 runways, and has new routes being added all the time, with airlines realising that people who want to travel from the UK don't ... Read review

Full of Common Northeners
Review of Manchester (MAN) by zoe_page

Advantages: Good facilties, exellent travel links, range of airport hotels and wide range of destinations
Disadvantages: BMI, BMI, BMI! And T2 for shopping.

...many, many years. Living in Manchester itself now means that Ringway is the obvious choice, but even when I lived at the seaside we still flew from here – something to do with the fact that my holiday / travelling requirements generally extend beyond Jersey and Tenerife – practically the only 2 places served by Blackpool airport. So yes, Manchester it had to be. Come next Tuesday, I will have flown to 11 or 12 countries from here, approximately ... Read review

Manchester Airport MAN Jewel of the North
Review of Manchester (MAN) by Dalesman

Advantages: Good location, good facilities, warm welcome
Disadvantages: can appear to be too big sometimes

Manchester Airport formerly known to the 'older' jet set as Ringway has gronw up a matured gracefully, it is of course not without its controversy, more terminal space with the new Terminal 2 (T2), and who could forget the antics of Swampy and his mates trying to stop the building of the new staggered parallel runway 24L/6R with its assortment of additional taxiways and new 2nd airport fire station situated half way down to the south side of the new ...

The two faces of Manchester airport
Review of Manchester (MAN) by Kkaos

Advantages: Smart and clean with short queues
Disadvantages: High prices for food etc

...with JMC in February from Manchester airport. My parents were flying out a week before us (lucky things) so I was persuaded to drive them up there to save money on the parking. The first thing that I will point out is that Manchester airport is brilliant to get to from the North or South (M6) but a nightmare from the East, such as Lincoln (tiny windy roads across the Penines where the hills just about killed my poor little car loaded up with parents ...

Come Fly With Me...
Review of Manchester (MAN) by fords

Advantages: Quick check in, plenty to do when checked in
Disadvantages: uncomfortsble seats!

...From Manchester Airport that is... Who doesn't like flying? I personally love it and will get to give it another go in a few weeks, flying to Tenerife from Manchester Airport (Ringway). I have only been on a foreign holiday twice, both times flying from Ringway. I have to say that it was a much better experience than I was expecting, I was expecting simply to check in and sit down and wait for the flight. Each time I have flown it, has ... Read review

Big and unorganised
Review of Manchester (MAN) by killip

Advantages: Flies to many locations
Disadvantages: Large, hard to navigate and very disorganised

Unfortunately for me, Manchester Airport is a necessity. Leeds/Bradford, the best airport in my opinion, doesn't fly to as many places (and invariably Manchester is sufficiently cheaper for me to think it warrants a visit. I have flown from there 7 times, and each time I have vowed I would never return. Manchester Airport is massive. It has three terminals and flies to every country imaginable. The place is just too disorganised though, let me ... Read review

Manchester Airport
Review of Manchester (MAN) by Dawson

Advantages: Central in Britain, Friendly, good links
Disadvantages: expensive car parks

Manchester Airport is a rapidly growing enterprise. Now with three terminals, new runways, a central location and airlines queueing up to get routes, it should only get better. My Most Recent Experience..... Starts as we approach the Airport. We suddenly realise we don't know which terminal to go to. A sign appears : Terminal One is domestic flights...ok.....therefore, it must be 2 or 3. No further signs, so we take a chance on Three. I quickly ... Read review

Far from the madding crowd
Review of Manchester (MAN) by paul1970

Advantages: Nice and quiet. Bit of luxury
Disadvantages: Not free

...this isn't a review about Manchester Airport as a whole. No, it's a review about the VERY BEST THING at Manchester airport, something that not many people appear to know about. Picture the scene. My other half and I have driven through the the night for ten hours, yes TEN hours from our home in the Scottish Highlands to Manchester airport to get our morning flight to Samos. We check in at roughly 6 a.m. - we're the first ones to check in for ... Read review

Ask the cleaner
Review of Manchester (MAN) by janharper

Advantages: easy access
Disadvantages: closed shops

...I flew to Cyprus from Manchester airport. Even before the plane took off we underwent a bit of an ordeal. The first problem was that when we got to Manchester airport I received a text message from my holiday company telling me that I had incorrect airline tickets and that I should go to information and ask them to sort it out. I couldn't find a kiosk that was open for Helios Airlines (see my op on this if you want to know more about Helios). ... Read review

Don't pack the Bacon
Review of Manchester (MAN) by belinda9

Advantages: Friendly staff, clean airport
Disadvantages: long time stood in queue

A week ago on the 9th March , my husband and I set off for a holiday to Tenerife. The pick up was exactly on time, we had in fact three hours until the plane departed which was plenty of time. We got in the queue for Air 2000, there were several queues forming and we just stood waiting until it was our turn. What I was concerned about was the fact that on the screens it just said Air 2000, not the flight and destination numbers. I was scared ... Read review

Regular flyer likes Manchester
Review of Manchester (MAN) by noyzboyz

Advantages: Easy to find. Few delays. Easy check ins
Disadvantages: Duty frees not that cheap.

...work) and I pass through Manchester airport on average once every 6 weeks (coming or going). I've been doing this for 5 years and before that I probably flew from Manchester 3 or 4 times a year so I've seen it change a lot. Obviously it has grown with the addition of the new terminal and runway and there was a period a couple of years ago when my opinion of the place would have been unprintable. However these days I have to praise the place. It has ... Read review

Everything you need from an airport
Review of Manchester (MAN) by sam123

Advantages: good airport
Disadvantages: -

Manchester Airport is our local airport and one, which we use very often, it’s a good airport, with loads of good points, it has three terminals, each for different destinations. It’s easy to get to and if someone brings you, they can find a car parking space relatively easily. Like all airports it has a range of shops, that you can visit before you board your flight. I suppose they are good to buy magazines etc, but they are expensive. Manchester ... Read review

Good service from a good airport
Review of Manchester (MAN) by WAD1-2-3

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

I have used the Manchester Airport several times and I think it's very good. Checking in providing you arrive nice and early is very easy, and boarding is quite straightforward. The airport is accessible and has good motorway links but be sure to take the correct terminal, as there are two. Inside, the airport can often be packed but it's very clean and that's one thing you like. The toilets I have to say are immaculate.......a point worth ... Read review

big outside, dirty inside
Review of Manchester (MAN) by somebodyrandom

Advantages: very big and famous
Disadvantages: very dirty

Manchester Airport is world famous, big, well organised and planned but somehow it still seems to be dirty! The amount of litter is absolutely dreadful; they have got hardly any cleaning staff. On the whole, Manchester Airport is the dirtiest airport that I know. On the other hand, it is very well run and planned. The flight information is clear and concise, as are the flight and passenger information calls. There is a wide range of facilities available ... Read review
