Mobile Manchester [Airport] is awful!

Dear god I have never been to such a shambles of an airport! Thank god we had fast pass security or we would still be there! It’s taken 2 hours to get from check in to a restaurant for breakfast! I miss Gatwick

We went though in July when was very busy with no issues at all!
I know there have been a few complaints recently but certainly wasn't a trauma for us. We did have fast track but the normal queue wasn't bad.
I think the early morning seem to be a problem for some reason at the moment. We had a later flight.

I've flown out of manchester about 50 times and never had this happen so i think it's more down to you being unlucky than the airport.

Last time i went through Manchester we had no issues, from check in to Duty free in about 15-20 mins. And that includes my wife getting stopped as she had a hairdryer in her hand luggage!

We fly out of Manchester all the time, never had issues with security or queuing but we do have fast track, the shambles at Manchester I always think is on your return when luggage takes an age or they can't decide what belt it's gonna be on, that's happened to us last two trips... You've been warned lol, have a great holiday hopefully that's your only blip 😁

Must admit, T3 is one of the worst terminals going based on our experience.
