Ways to upgrade your visit to Manchester Airport

We offer parking solutions for every length of time and budget, so your car will be in safe hands while you’re away. Meet & Greet is popular and close to all terminals so you can head straight to check-in. We’ll park your vehicle and make sure your car is waiting for you when you return. Just pick up your keys from reception and you’re good to go!

Drop & Go saves the need to search for a parking space. Just park in a designated bay, drop your keys at the kiosk, and we’ll take care of the rest. Drop & Go is 5 minutes' walk from T3, and a short shuttle bus ride to T1 & T2. Collect your keys from a locker when you land and your car will be waiting in our dedicated returns area.

You don’t have to fly first or business class to access an airport lounge. All three terminals feature an Escape Lounge where you can chill out and charge your phone before your flight. Your visit includes complimentary hot and cold food, and drinks from our well-stocked bar. You can turn up on the day and take your chances, but there is limited capacity so we recommend you book before you arrive.

If you’re travelling from Terminal 2, the 1903 Lounge offers a premium airport experience with bespoke daily food menus, premium complimentary drinks and great views of the runway. (Read on to find out about our new hospitality experience.)

You can beat the queues by pre-booking the FastTrack express lane at Security. Our FastTrack passes start from as little as £5.50 per person and will give you access to a dedicated lane straight to the security checkpoint. If you’re flying from Terminal 3, you can pre-book a convenient TimeSlot to enter the security area which will allow you to breeze through the queues so you can get to the departure lounge quicker (and start your World Duty Free shopping!)

Top tip: For the ultimate pre-flight hospitality experience, fly from aether, our new Terminal which is available to all passengers. Housed in its own building overlooking the runway, your visit includes premium dining and drinking options and a fast-track security lane. And when it’s time to board, you’ll be whisked to your gate in a chauffeur-driven electric BMW.

You can also book aether for when you arrive. Simply step into the waiting chauffeur-driven car and breeze through aether’s private passport control/domestic arrivals channel. Relax with some refreshments while your bags are collected and returned to you. .
