Terminal 2 is an excellent terminal at Manchester Airport. Whatever your need, there is bound to be the facility in place to meet it. If you’ve forgotten your foreign currency or simply decided on the way that you’d like to take a bit more with you to be on the safe side you can visit the Bureaux de Change in the departures area before heading through security. If you’ve run out of domestic currency you’re not going to be short either as there are plenty of ATM services dotted around the departures area. An amusements arcade is available with all the usual car racing games for children (and the much older ‘children’!), shooting games for teenagers and gambling machines for adults. All sorts of meals, snacks and drinks are available from different franchises spread out throughout the departures area. If you have a hunt around, since you will have time in waiting for your flight, you will find that many places have offers on different snacks, especially the likes of Boots or WHSmiths, so think about what you’d like and go on a fun and time-consuming mission to find them on offer!

With Terminal 2 being such an important terminal, it is very easy to park near it. In fact, Manchester Airport has only two long stay car parks; one serving Terminals 1 and 3 and the other one solely dedicated to serving Terminal 2. Prices are very cheap compared to London airports with one week costing £64 and then every 24 hours after that costing £6.50 per day.
