Great to see some balance, context and interesting discussion about services provided by recent posters by the way, and no apology needed from anyone 🙂👍

MAN security has been in the news for weeks simple as that. I did say I'd have no problems parking at any UK airport, crime is actually very low. More info on link.

Not being in a management position at any of the handling agents or airport ops limits my ability to do anything.

I do find the lack of concern for security at airport car parks dismaying. I once did a day return from Stansted, on the outward noticing a car broken into in the short stay car park, on the return seeing it was still in that condition with the broken glass all around. A subsequent comment to a security manager encountered there got the comment that their security was measured by the CAA on nail scissors etc detected at the scanner. The car park was "nuffin' to do with us ...".

I did promise feedback on my daughter’s departure on VS73 today.
- arrived at T2 at 7 am.
- time taken from start of queue at check in to through Security 2 hours.
- no reported issues at Security.
- wi fi coverage very poor, unable to communicate for some time.
A significant improvement on her last experience with Security. Well done.

What we really need is a much expanded season length imho

Passed through T3 security at approximately 08:40 on Wednesday morning (flight STD 10:50). Surprised to find that there was NO QUEUE at all at this hour. Directly to the scanners and through. T3 was busy airside, but found seating OK. Very long queue for the coffee outlet ... that seems to be the main pinch-point these days!
Just arrived back into T3 about an hour ago (Friday). Not a typical experience, as the Loganair flight from Ronaldsway arrived on a 'local standby' (precautionary turnout of the Airport Fire Service). It was therefore directed to remote-park on stand 69 from where a bus transferred passengers to Gate 150 for domestic access to T3. There was a short delay of about five minutes whilst the bus driver obtained approval to allow the passengers to access the building. Once inside, it was straight to the exit and out.
No issues to speak of from a Manchester Airport perspective. However, Loganair were enduring quite the nightmare day! Felt quite sorry for them.

Just arrived for the EK lunch time flight a little too early as I have breezed through check in and security, and a bit of await now ☹️ The lines looked normal to me today.

The issues at MAN have been well publicised, but the idea that that is the case at all times is as incorrect as the idea that you can get through at LPL in <10 minutes all the time.

Well, I flew into Manchester for the first time in several years yesterday and the arrivals process was pretty smooth. I was on the EK17 flight, which had around 400 pax. I was seated in row 88 at the very back of the bus, so was among the last off. It took about 20 minutes of queuing to clear the border, then a 5 minute wait for my bag. So all good from that perspective.
What wasn't good was the state of the infrastructure in T1. We all know that Pier B is well past its due-by date, but the most noticeable thing about it for me was the thick layers of dust and grime in the venting grids along the whole length of the pier. The rest of T1 was dark, depressing and shabby. The toilets at the baggage claim were dirty, with no soap in the dispensers and broken locks on the doors. These things are so simple to fix, yet their neglect leaves a very negative impression in the minds of passengers. Send out a bloke with a screwdriver to mend the locks, get the cleaners to clean the sinks and fill the soap dispensers, and get a cleaning crew to get rid of the dust and dirt in pier B. It really isn't rocket science.
Tomorrow I'm departing T1 on the lunchtime SAS flight to Oslo. Will be interesting to see how that goes.
