Advantages: Easy access from Mancheste, Terminal 2 is nice to relax in

Disadvantages: Other Terminals are hectic, High Carpark Prices

Manchester Airport is changing at a fast pace. Terminal 1 in the summer can be very hectic whereas Terminal 2 (Where Emirates, Delta, Air France, Thomson, Virgin, Continental, Singapore, Onur Air, Qatar Fly out of) is in complete contrast...
Terminal 2 is a long rectangle with check-in desks all in one straight line with all airlines clearly displayed on large LCD Wall Displays...
After Check-in you have to proceed up an escalator or the small lift which fits about 4 people in...you then walk around a wall to security and then back down stairs into departures.
On the Left of you is Alpha Retail selling Duty Free Liquor, Tax Free Cosmetics for EU Flights...In front of you would be the Flight screens...if you walk past Alpha and left down the rectangle terminal you will find boots, and burger king among other restaurants...
Terminal 1 from Terminal 2 is about a 10 minute walk along the Skywalk that has travelators to keep you moving...at the halfway point is the Train and Bus Station down an escalator or lift...just before this is the SAS Hotel...proceeding onto Terminal 1 you get to more escalators which take you straight to the Check-in Desks.

Terminal 3 is a trick walk from Terminal 1 but is alot quieter than T1 and is home to Flybe, BMI and BMI Baby among others.

Car Parking is quite Expensive...

Summary: good for international flights
