i like the airport, but that's just probably because I love England. Maybe they should make it look a little bit more modern.

One avoids the absolute busyness of Heathrow by flying into Manchester Airport. I would have liked to have seen more shops though. Waiting for my lift inside Terminal one was a bit of a squeeze and would have appreciated more seating. Coffee at more affordable prices would have been splendid, too! The location of the airport suited us in terms of where we headed.

I agree with previous comments. For anyone visiting the UK for the first time, Manchester Airport is a disgrace. First impressions matter and the airport lets the North West and the UK down. It is badly organised, dirty and poorly furnished. I regularly use it because I have to, but always cringe on my return when I think about how non-nationals view it. It must also be one of the few airports in the world where immigration control makes nationals queue up in single file similar to a bus queue, where as non-nationals are dealt with much more quickly. The management should have a look at airports such as Beijing, Bangkok, Dubai, etc. They are a real pleasure to use.

Manchester Airport is without doubt a disgrace to the city. It's filthy (especially Terminals 1 and 2), it smells, it looks like a Communist prison camp, the staff are rude, and there are far too many shops and people selling raffle tickets. You can't go anywhere nice anymore, the airlines are deserting it in droves. Food is unbelievably overpriced and the flight times are a joke. Avoid if at all possible!

OK. not as good as can be.Very busy, long queues on arrival. Not much food areas on departure, but quite good. Good taxi/coach supply in/out of man airport, car parking good. A lot of shops on departure, a lot of international, European and domestic airlines with destinations all over England, Europe and the rest of the world. Definitely recommend if you want alternative to Heathrow, good airport overall.
