Manchester Airport drop off: All the information issued to passengers

If you’re heading to or from Manchester Airport, it’s key to know the drop-off info for each terminal since it varies. From November 19, 2025, all flights from Terminal 1 will shift to Terminals 2 and 3 due to a £1.3bn airport upgrade. Here’s the lowdown on drop-off charges:

  • Terminal 1, 2, and 3:
    • 5 minutes: £5.00
    • 10 minutes: £6.40
    • Up to 30 minutes: £25.00
    • Maximum stay is 30 minutes.
    • A £100 penalty applies for pick-ups in drop-off zones.

For longer visits, consider the ‘turn up and park’ options.
