Is Manchester airport the worst in Europe?

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.

Agreed. I was critical of Manchester airport on here last year but I've flown from there several times this year and the experience is much better.

Don't get me wrong, it's not going to win any awards, and there are still improvements to make, but the security queues are now much better.

I used the drop and go service for the first time and it was excellent - member of staff on hand to explain how it worked and there was no driving around the car park looking for the last few spots.
 
I've flown from Manchester a couple of times this year and each time the check ins have been smooth, the security queues always look fearsome but queue management is excellent and we were through in minutes.

Biggest issue for me is the limited number of seats in the departure lounge, doesn't help when you've got people sleeping across seats. No issue if it's kids but adults should know better!
 
Flew out of T2 last Friday with Tui. 1 person on bag check in!! Long long wait, None of the automated bag check ins were working. 1 Tui girl standing around ( presumably customer service?? ) no help at all, as she spent all the time on her phone.

Flying back from Skiathos, dropped off immediately outside airport, no charges, no ott security barriers, just checked in, 5 Tui check in people, three Tui Customer service people directing. What a contrast.

I know its probably not directly releated tobthe Airport but you cant help but thing all Manchester Airport seems interested in is screwing money out of people via parking and drop off pick up etc.
 
I once saw a toilet door off it’s hinges and propped up against the wall. Out of 6 toilet cubicles only 1 had toilet paper. The staff are rude and aggressive. Paarking and drop off fees are an absolute piss-take. I have used JLA a few times. It might look like a Tescos superstore, but it’s a great airport in comparison to Manchester.

If you want to see and experience a fantastic airport fly to Munich. It is absolutely spotless. In the toilets the cleaners have to log in and out on a touch screen set into the wall to show they have cleaned the toilets.
 
Read yesterday they arrested someone with a firearm in their bag, that’s one job well done god knows what would have happened
 
Departing MCR Airport was free flowing yesterday, best I've experienced. Obviously schools are back this week so not as many people flying but still impressive.

i go through security every day at work multiple times, when your stuff goes through the xray they sometimes show up fake things in your bag to make sure the people who screen your bags are doing their jobs properly , i once "brought through" a ww2 luger pistol in my lunch box :)
 
i get up at silly o'clock , i work until silly o'clock,i work in torrential rain,wind,snow,ice and very rarely sunshiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnneeeeee :)
the pay isn't the best in the world,its not bad,i have enough,i work in cramped conditions,i work high up, and everything you bump into or bang with your head,hands,shins,knees is hard and fucking well hurts, im either too hot too cold,hungry ,thirsty,or knackered , i come home dirty and usually sit down for 5 mins and fall asleep, i get accused of wrecking bags or stealing stuff out of bags and losing bags, i had to give up my season ticket because i work nearly every weekend , and you lot complain if the terminal may be a bit busy and you have to wait to get on your aircraft ,the aircraft that i've walked around to make sure it is ok to take off,or i've pushed the plane so its facing the right way :)

well aaaahhh didums, dont like it don't fly , but remember if i lose my job because there are no passengers,don't walk past me when i ask you for 50p for a brew :)
