Fast track security Manchester airport

somethingcorporate

Paid for it twice, never actually needed it as queues were so small.

Still walked through it, may as well get my money's worth!!

We have booked it for later this year when we fly to Singapore. Originally wasn't going to bother but reading some horror stories about T2 queues thought paying for it was worth it and managed to get a discount too as added it to our parking booking.

I am about to book fast track for my holiday this year.
Do you put the time down as in the time you expect to get to the airport or the time I expect to get to security?

They dont normally check the time, just put an expected time to get to security.

Just a note on this thread, dont book fast track if your are flying Jet 2 as they have their own check in area and security at manchester. I made that mistake last year and wasted my money. Doesnt say anything on the MIA site. However I do normally get fast track as I hate queuing and have generally benefited from it.

You may have had more luck on the MAN website, MIA is a few thousand miles away

Used it 3 times, 1st time saved quite a bit, 2nd and 3rd waste of money, like previous poster felt embarrassed walking down ! but you've paid so you feel obliged...


In April 2016 we wont bother, Sept 2016 its included in ticket so will !

We bought it when we flew out of T2 last summer as had heard bad stories about the queues- but needn't have bothered as there weren't any!

Never paid for fast track. Either wait in the queue one side or wait on the other side to find out which gate.

As has been said, if it getting close to departure time & you are still stuck in queue they just send you down the fast track anyway
