Manchester passport control fast track - outbound flight number?

nquart · 13 Aug 18, 08:39 PM

I'm booking the fast track passport control but it is asking for the outbound flight number. Am I right thinking the outbound flight is the way there and inbound is the return?

Surely the outbound flight number isn't relevant or am I missing something

I think because their order process is for both outgoing and incoming fast track (security / passport ) that they have simply not updated their website for people who are just booking the passport on return.

As long as you have entered your arrival day and time, I would still enter your inbound flight number in this box, unless you are booking both ways, in which case add your outgoing.

Yes. Manchester Airport Passport Control was that crap that they figured a way to make money would be to charge people extra to queue jump

Also, the luggage reclaim is that slow I'm expecting that they'll soon figure a way to charge you extra to get your bags quicker. Having any upgrade on Economy appears to be a sure-fire way of making your bags come out last at the moment.

Crazy, they�ve also just introduced a drop off charge, another cash making scam.😡
I hate Manchester Airport, it�s just a pity that it�s my nearest for long haul.

Birmingham airport has had a drop-off charge for years. I think MAN is just catching up with what most others already do.
