No barriers now to get out of the airport and you have to go online to pay before midnight the next day , I tried to sign up for automatic payments as I'm a regular ish visitor , money didn't go out so had to go back online and do it all manually again

Is Manchester airport the worst in Europe?

Take deep breaths mate it will be ok. :)I'm due to fly out of there in 13 days already getting the jitters remembering all this
I flew out and back into MCR airport last week, Saturday to Saturday.
In the spirit of fairness, i will say that on my last few uses of MCR, i have had pretty trouble free experiences through security and what have you, and coming back into the country has been pretty quick too. In fact at the weekend i went from plane door to train station in about 13 mins, you cannot complain at that. I may have been very lucky with day and time of course, but still it was straightforward.
But what I will say, unfortunately, is that Manchester continues to be one of the consistently most dirty and shittiest little crap airports I visit, and i've been to many. Why? why is it every time i go there's a pile of vomit somewhere? or generally litter everywhere? and why the fuck do i always end up walking through weird little rat runs to get on or off a plane? some back door up some stairs and cutting through back corridors to get to passport control? The whole place just seems totally budget, and "for the year ending March 31, 2025, Manchester Airports Group (MAG) reported a record £1.3 billion in revenue, a 8.4% increase from the previous year, and an operating profit of £263 million"

Makes no sense to me that it's such a crappy cramped and dirty airport, plenty of money around as you point out. One thing I will say is the staff at check-in and security are pretty good and helpful.I flew out and back into MCR airport last week, Saturday to Saturday.

With the work that's started in T1 and T3, quite a number of airlines have moved over and this month, will move over to T2. This includes easyjetI flew out and back into MCR airport last week, Saturday to Saturday.

One of the major problems with this is that T2 doesn't have enough aircraft stands for the amount of flights it has to serve, so passengers will check in, be told which gate to go to and from there be bused to the plane and have to queue in the Manchester open air to board the plane
