As a regular flier (30+ flights a year) this has to be the worst airport in relation to how they treat the passenger. Parking - very expensive if being collected or taken to the airport and for long stays the cost of parking sometimes encourages me to drive Manchester airport to take advantage of the wider range of flight options. Airside facilities - terrible hardly any power sockets - those that do exist are special 3 round pin type aimed at preventing their customer from using them. Added to this unless you pay for a meal passenger waiting area is in a dark zone of the airport surrounded by shop fronts or internal walls with no natural light and insufficient seats which are not comfortable for long waits or to use with a notebook. This airport should start to view the passenger as a customer rather than a cash cow ripe for milking and herding
