Is Manchester airport the worst in Europe?

Manchester Airport is really a smelly overcrowded pub with some planes coming in and out.
A load of scrotes getting leathered at 6 in the morning . Almost everytime you read about some air rage incident the flight originated in Manchester.

Yeah, that's because the cnuts won't use their own John Lennon Airport.
 
All that money spent on T2.
Went for a piss last week.
Arabic woman in the gents with a wheelchair.
There is a disabled loo inside the arrivals hall.
One urinal. 3 cubicles, all being used, queue out the door.
Went upstairs to back end of check in.
One urinal, two cubicles.
Big queue.
Cleaner told me to use the disabled loo.
T1 toilet is a disgrace.
It stinks constantly.
Horrible place to get caught short.

Sadly I'm there most days so it's either there or Lymm services. Again this is another literal shithole.
And yes I have a stomach condition.

They have seen to have forgotten about building enough toilets in T2

Let's face it the country is a fucking dump
 
I don’t know what went wrong, it was ok as airports go, and then started a long decline, although I do believe they have new management in place and there is some more investment on the way

It’s certainly not the worst in the world but as a major airport hub it could do a lot better
 
T2 passport control is absolute wank . Now my daughter is 12 we can not go in the family line . In T1 they have passport scanners and its a breeze, but for years we couldn't use them because she was too young . The same woman has busted my balls about five times in T2 saying we couldn't go in the family line while one of about three immigration officers falls asleep because she just keeps adding dozens more to a massive queue. They have about 20 Stations at passport control and most of them have no staff .
 
They went for world domination and overdeveloped the huge logistics hubs. They seem to have forgot that it's an airport where people fly from as well as freight.
 
Flew into terminal one yesterday in and out pretty quickly. It’s badly in need of a renovation and not a good advert for Manchester for people visiting.

Compare and contrast to the newly opened Terminal A in Abu Dhabi. They’ve literally gone no expense spared from what I saw and probably trumps their cousins down the road at Dubai airport.
 
Seems an awful lot better, flew in/out in October and again mid December, only issue was a delay at passport control in October, massive (sorry) queue, other than that & I'm aware its out of season T1 October and T2 December were really smooth.
 
Flew out of Manchester a couple of weeks ago, and arrived back on Monday morning using T2.

Baggage drop was the slowest part as multiple TUI flights leaving at similar times, but relatively painless and security was done within 10 mins.

Coming back, leaving the plane to collecting baggage and walking out the terminal was about 20 mins.

Much better experience than T1 in February.
 
I always try to fly from Liverpool. It’s like a ghost town. Never been in 1 queue in all the times I’ve used it.

Been at the front of the queue for check in for 3 hours due to power issues, nobody tells us anything,queue now all the way round the carpark
Surely they should have some form of back up and seating available
