Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL)

I have used Liverpool's John Lennon Airport quite a lot in the past few years, it is very easy to get to (if you live in the Liverpool or Manchester area) and frequently has low cost flights on offer. The airport is often well organised and always kept very clean. It is, however phone to very long and interlocking queues. In terms of the waiting times and the queues, it is probably one of the worst airports I have visited. I would advise anyone who is flying out from this airport to get there very early and skip the inevitable queues. It is also quite limited in terms of shops and cafes, but thankfully after the hours you have spent waiting there ...  Read the complete review

I have used Liverpool John Lennon airport frequently over the past 2 years, both when travelling to the UK from my home elsewhere and since living in the UK due to its close proximity. The airport is easy to access from the motorway and small enough not to have to arrive 2 hours before a flight. Hire cars can be easily picked, a 5 minute walk from the terminal and should you wish to leave your car at the airport, there are numerous choices, some very close to the terminal. Do take advantage of the internet reservation of car park space, it really is much, much cheaper that way, just be sure to park in the right park. The carpark attendants are not very accommodating ...  Read the complete review

I travelled to Murcia in November last year via Liverpool and it was the first time I used the airport. I was dropped off and, unlike at Manchester, there wasn't a labyrinth of roads to try to decipher. You can be dropped off basically by the entrance, which is really handy, and hassle free. Although, I did look in to the public transport option, which wasn't too bad from the centre of Liverpool, a bus every 15 minutes or so but there's not direct train line there like there is with Manchester, which is a shame. I travelled with Ryan Air, in the afternoon and used the online check in as I only took hand luggage with me. However, there were plenty of check in ...  Read the complete review

in my opinion this is quite a small airport i travelled out of here when i was going to barcelona i thought it was too small and not alot to keep you occuppied. however you find that most flights going from liverpool airport seem to be a lot cheaper than other airports in the uk so if you can get there to travel you could end up saving yourself quite a lot of money. which is worthwhile. quite a lot of low cost airlines fly from liverpool which does definately save you some money. although there are not many shops to browse through the staff in this airport were very friendly. i found the departure lounge quite comfortable however it was not very big quite a lot of people ...  Read the complete review

This airport could be so much better with some thought and money injected into it. The airport itself overall is ok but the standards inside are lacking. I know its only small but that doesnt excuse it from being grubby, worn and basically filthy in areas. We used it during the summer and were shocked to see tables laden with rubbish, the toilets had rubbish piled up and were not exactly spotless either. The glass partition between the seating area and where you walk to and from gates was completely filthy on the sides and the top of the glass. Whats the point of a beautiful glass feature if it isnt kept shining? We were bitterly ...  Read the complete review
