Overview

  • The newly launched Twilight Bag Drop lets travellers drop hold luggage the evening before departure at dedicated lanes, with validated free parking available in terminal car parks for flights on the following day.
  • TimeSlot enables passengers departing from Terminals 2 and 3 to pre-book a specific security screening time up to 14 days in advance by QR code, with slots running daily in Terminal 3 from 4 am to 6 pm and in Terminal 2 from 3:30 am to 7:30 am.
  • Since April’s £1.3 billion Terminal 2 overhaul introduced new check-in desks, security hall, scanners, shops and bars, more than 97 percent of travellers have processed through security in under ten minutes.
  • Advanced scanning technology is now installed in the majority of lanes across all three terminals, although passengers are still advised to follow standard security procedures until rollout completes.
  • Manchester Airport also offers FastTrack, Passport Control FastTrack, information kiosks and specialized assistance services, with passengers urged to check in online, travel light and arrive at least two hours before departure to smooth the journey.
