I've been in there in a helo and it was no problem, my question would be why? Do you really need to go to MIA? A lot more expensive, a lot busier and more chance of ending p at the back of the queue.

Handling is mandatory. I use Ocean Sky when I go there and the service is excellent. Expect landing fees between £50 and £150 (medium twin)depending on whether you go in at peak or off peak times. handling around £150 and passenger charges of around £10 a head. Do read up on the procedures so that you know exactly what is what.
fees always end up being in 400-500 quid region.
if cost is an issue (don't you love that phrase?) - you can still land elsewhere and suffer a short taxi ride.......

If you are catching a commercial flight be aware that the GA handling facility (Ocean Skies), is remote from the terminals. It is a courtesy car/ taxi ride away (about 10mins).
Outside of rush hour you would be able to do Barton - Manchester in a cab in about 20mins and save a packet on the landing/ handling.

I fly in there a few times a year to pick up/drop off. I agree with the advice to consider using Barton instead plus a local taxi. You might be held in an orbit for ten minutes to cross to the western side and as already mentioned, it's another ten minutes drive to the terminal.
