Terminal by terminal

T1

Terminal 1

Airlines: Jet2, TUI, Ryanair (some routes), easyJet (some routes)

Pre-booked taxi pick-up on the Terminal 1 arrivals approach road. Your driver will confirm the precise bay on the day.

Terminal 1 is closest to the M56 motorway approach. Drop-off for departures is at the multi-storey forecourt.

T2

Terminal 2

Airlines: easyJet, British Airways, Aer Lingus, Emirates, Turkish Airlines, and most major carriers

Terminal 2 is the largest terminal. Pre-booked pickup is from the ground transportation zone on the arrivals level.

T2 has undergone significant expansion — signage directs arriving passengers to the pickup zone on exit from customs.

T3

Terminal 3

Airlines: Wizz Air, some charter airlines

Terminal 3 shares a pickup zone with T1 and is connected by a short covered walkway. Follow signs for 'taxis and private hire'.

Flights from T3 are less frequent. Always confirm your terminal on your boarding pass — T3 and T1 are close together.

Always check your terminal before travel

Terminal allocations at MAN can change, especially for charter and low-cost carriers. Confirm your terminal on your boarding pass or airline app before departure. Tell us your terminal when booking so your driver heads to the right pickup point.
