Is Manchester airport the worst in Europe?

Trust me it was awful.
That's a reasonable time to travel as the peak early flights have left.

Oh I was joking pal, I got stuck on a plane coming out of Majorca a long with my then 6 year old daughter witha group of Scouse vermin. If she hadn't have been there I'd have spent a couple of nights extra in a cell there.
 
They certainly have time worst staff at security, Constantly screaming and shouting and talk to you like a piece of shit. Anytime I'm in T3 heading out they are complete bellends.

I got some right **** on Saturday afternoon, They all give it the big I am...They'd completely shit themselves outside on the street and wouldn't dare speak to people in that manner.

They shout out orders and what to do that often that it just becomes a jumble of white noise. You can't blame them though as people do tend to leave their brains at home when they travel. No matter how many signs and instructions they still behave like startled rabbits when it comes to.the filling their tray up.part.

Some people are complete fuckwits.

“Oh I didn’t realise I can’t put a litre bottle of lemonade in my hand luggage”

Where have you been the last 20 years you absolute imbecile. It’s not 1/2 either it’s almost every other one.

I was going through Manchester Airport security staff entrance a couple of weeks ago and there was a cabin crew, very Arab looking, just in front of me
They had absolutely no idea on sizes of liquids or that you were only allowed one liquid bag

Bloke in front of me this morning had his laptop on his bag and a can of deodorant in his pocket. Then moans like fuck when he's dragged to one side. Time that by 100 and you've already got pissed off staff by 6am.

Some just try it on. Women are the worst with all sorts of perfume and stuff in their flight bag or handbag. Then idiots with belts, metal objects, watches etcetera.
 
There has never been a visit when I haven’t had to take my jacket off / Belt off yet some look flabbergasted when they are asked to do this.
Flying out of Barbados last month I got to security and took my jacket off and was putting my tablet, phone, belt etc in a separate tray only to get screamed at for doing it. Just leave it and get moving.

I said this is what we have to do in Europe and she screamed, your not in Europe are you!

On another point there were 8 flights to the UK within a couple of hours all at gates 14, 15 and 16 including 4 to Manchester. The area which is pretty small was absolute chaos.

And of course fuck all else was flying out of the other gates!
 
Dropped my wife and daughter off at T2 this morning and was amazed that they charge £1 for a trolley. The unbelievable state of this country, they literally want every fucking penny off you.

When I was traveling back from there a couple of years ago there was an awful lot of “attitude” being pumped out by security it was the tail end of COVID so I’d like to give them the benefit of doubt but it was grim.
 
A new nomination and to me a clear winner.

Heathrow.
4 months ago my son, daughter in law, 4 yr old son and 3 month old baby flew Syndney, Peru, Sao Paulo Brasillia with out incident.
On Tuesday/Wednesday this week they flew Brasillia, Sao Paulo, Heathrow Manchester.
Heathrow was the only place where staff were rude, unhelpful, nasty (they physically patted down my granddaughter without explaining and the swabbed her face for explosives !) The ignorant bastard didn't warn dad, he just manhandled her.

After travelling through all those airports the DIL was left nearly in tears and my son close to thumping someone.

What a way to greet foreigners to our shores.
Manchester terminal 3 made a valiant bid to be nominated as the car park was a nightmare but in truth it wasn't even close

Last time i went one of the airport police was a right **** with two Asian lads who had got in the wrong lane by mistake!! Welcome to England lads ! ****
 
The last time I used Manchester airport was when I came over for my mother's funeral.
I was flying back to Oz on a Saturday morning, I arrived at the check in hall and it was absolute chaos. Packed to the rafters. A sea of people waiting to be checked in.
My airline check in desk was of course the furthest away diagonally so I had to fight my way across with my suitcase and carry on. It was very hot in there with all the bodies and by the time I checked in I was stressed and hot and sweaty, needed another shower before the long flight to Singapore but no chance of that.
I thought I'd get a coffee and a newspaper to chill a bit after dealing with the extremely rude and miserable twats at security, however that was thwarted as there were no tables available and WHSmith had a huge line to pay. Everywhere was jammed with people.

Anyway 14 hours later I arrived at Singapore Changi airport, an oasis of calm, I had a 4 hour layover so made my way to the outdoor tropical style swimming pool in T2, paid $10 for a towel, use of very nice showers, and a nice cold beer.
Everyone seemed helpful and pleasant.
If you've never been there it's about as good as an airport could be, acres of air-conditioned space, shops and eateries galore, loads of sitting space, huge screens everywhere a lot showing PL football, bars, a free cinema.

Manchester airport seemed like a bad dream.
