Manchester Airport - Terminal 2 - Shopping

"Pretty new toilet blocks and lots of them. Plenty of space and clean."

"There are charge areas at the gates in the seating areas."

"Lots of water stations at the gates before the entrance to each toilet block.usually two water fountains at each."

"Beyond security there are lots of places to eat at Terminal 2 Manchester but it can also be very busy. You can try heading further than the first set of bars and restaurants to find less crowded places.

One decent spot is Great Northern Market with six different eateries -https://greatnorthernmarket.co.uk."

"Escape Lounge at Terminal 2 had a sign outside saying it was full and to join the online queue. I'm not sure if this was just to prevent more people from queuing but it does seem that this lounge is often full. We joined the online queue but cancelled it as we got into the Aspire Lounge.

It's a pretty small lounge but to be fair had bacon, egg, sausage, tomato, bread and some cereal. Pretty basic but did the job and wasn't too crowded like some other lounge."

"Ok, so Manchester airport terminal 2 has been refurbished and now has the large scanners for security. The space is wide and airy too with plenty of space. We breezed through very quickly and was a pleasant experience. Staff could do to be a bit more friendly though but this often seems to be the case with airport security."

"We took an Uber on arrival from Terminal 2. It's always a bit of a pain with Uber and Bolt etc at airports as they have to pick you up in difficult locations. Manchester also has this issue, I don't know why they don't invest in having a dedicated Uber/lift sharing area that is simple and easy to get to (and sign posted).

At the moment you have to find the right multi-story car park to wait in. Having spoken to drivers they often find that passengers get confused and end up in the wrong car park.

It isn't that difficult if you follow the instructions on the Uber app, but for those that have just landed and never been to the airport before, finding Multi-story West car park instead of East is a bit tricky."

"Our baggage came through very quickly. No complaints."

"As usual, my passport doesn't work with the electronic gates. This happens as all UK airports for me though. I had to stand in the normal passport control queue which was pretty quick and they were nice and friendly too."

"Newly done terminal, nice and clean."

"Parking is in a multi story car park to pick up arrivals. Close to terminal and £6 for two hours at the moment. "

"You can walk between terminals through a covered tunnel, perfect for the Manchester weather."

"Nice clean terminal as it has been refurbished recently."

"Nearly refurbished terminal with a large spacious check in area. New, clean, light and airy, unlike terminals 2 & 3 at Manchester."

"2 meals served within 10 minutes. The 3rd meal took 25 minutes. They refunded the meal. "

"Wagamamas was an ideal pre flight meal before an 8 hour journey."

"Good range of soft chairs for families."

"Very easy check in after online check in and arriving 2 and a half hours before departure."
