It’s always a good idea to turn up to your flight a few hours early, in order to get through all those necessary security checks and leave time for queues or traffic. This would be a bit of a painful process if it involved simply sitting waiting at the gate for a number of hours, but thankfully airports these days have got your back. Now, once you have the all clear from security, there’s the wonderful world of duty free shopping, tasty restaurants, and bars to spend your time in while you wait. Here’s a taste of what entertainment awaits you in Manchester Airport so you can plan to save some extra pennies for your return trip!

At Manchester Airport you’ll find all your favourite beauty brands in the World of Duty Free, as well as well-known shops like The Body Shop, Clarins, and Bobbi Brown.

Forgotten to grab a gift for your friend or family member on holiday? We’ve all been there. Not to worry, with the range of shops available at Manchester Airport they’ll never know it was a last-minute purchase. Treat them to a classic bracelet or charm from Pandora, a delightfully smelling candle from Jo Malone, or even a book by their favourite author from WH Smith
Wi-Fi
If you’ve travelled to an overseas airport before, you’ll know how useful it is to have a Wi-Fi connection. When you first touch down in your holiday destination, it can be a huge help in organising your next move, contacting friends to let them know where you are, and catching up with family after a long flight. And once you’re sitting waiting for your return flight, Wi-Fi can be a lifesaver if you want to pass the time watching movies or surfing the internet. Whatever you want to use it for, you’ll be pleased to know that Manchester Airport offers free Wi-Fi for 60 minutes in any 24 hour period. If you need more, it’s easily accessible for purchase through your mobile phone or computer.
