We have used Manchester Airport for over 35 years and never thought of using a lounge but we used them quite a few times on a visit to South Africa last year and thought what a good idea. We had an 8:30 flight from Manchester and decided to use the lounge at T2 and were glad we did, it was not too busy and all the areas were very clean, there was a reasonable choice of food and drinks and it was a very pleasant way to spend a couple of hours prior to boarding our flight. My wife and daughter have already booked for when they have their girlie week away and we will certainly book again when we go away later in the year.
