Is Manchester airport the worst in Europe?

I parked in the T2 multi-storey for T1 flight to Istanbul. Travelling walkways to station then T1 were out of action for outbound on Friday and return on Sunday.
Not a major issue going out but I was knackered when we got back.
Airport is going to spend millions on replacing travellators.
 
I flew to Greece yesterday early morning with Jet2
Didn't do the twilight check in as it would have been an hour and a half with the travel involved and as they do the self check in, it wasn't an issue anyway. We were straight onto a machine

Biggest issue was with passengers not sorting what they had in their hand luggage
The amount of people waiting for a physical check was huge and must have been a good hour's wait
We were through there in ten minutes
Birmingham airport security was rejecting lots of bags causing delays - mine was because the plastic bag with liquid rolled under my rucksack and they couldn't tell that it wasn't in the rucksack...

Hopefully things improve when they get the new scanners so you don't need to take your liquids out. Those e gates at passport control would be dead quick if most of the population weren't thick as mince too

It only takes about 20 minutes from Denton unless the traffic is bad, are you in Anaxos? We are going to Petra in September
 
Huge improvement since last year. The redevelopment of terminal 2 isn't complete yet and will improve it more. In 3-4 years I think it will have turned full circle from where it was in summer 2022.
 
Other airports have queues and all will have staff that are at times unhelpful and/or rude, but at Manchester you get the full experience in a cramped, permanent portacabin (which you pay for the privilege of being dropped off at).
