Sleeping inside or in nearby hotels (MAN)

Overnight layover guide. Sleeping facilities in the public zone or boarding area

Please note that some published services and schedules may be subject to change. If the idea is to spend the night in the public area, consider a plan B in case the stay inside the airport is only allowed for those who are about to board. Spending the night at the airport

Inside Manchester Airport it's busy even at night, and it's not uncommon to see passengers waiting for their flight to depart early in the morning. It can get very noisy, so if you plan to sleep, it's best to have earplugs or headphones.

Where to rest: Terminal 1 is the most comfortable. While there aren't many seats in the public area (and they have armrests, except near some of the check-in desks), in the boarding area you can find armchairs without armrests. If your flight departs from Terminal 2, the best seats are in the Arrivals Hall. Terminal 3 is best avoided, as it is small and has very few amenities. Another option is to use one of the airport's VIP lounges, although these are closed at night. Finally, if you prefer to sleep in a bed and decide to go to a hotel, there are several alternatives on the premises.

Baggage: There is a luggage storage office in Terminal 1, but it closes at night. This means you will have to stay with your luggage until you can check in.

Eating and drinking: While there are plenty of eateries within the terminals, there are only a couple of 24-hour options in Terminal 2.

Restrooms: Showers are available in some VIP lounges.

Wi-Fi: Free for 4 hours.

Other services available around the clock: ATMs, baby changing facilities, children's playground.
