Manchester Airport has offered a new way for people to avoid the "hustle and bustle" when travelling from the airport.
It comes amid ongoing queues and travel disruption, with the airline industry struggling to bounce back from the coronavirus pandemic. In recent weeks and months, some passengers have complained of long waits at the airport.
Manchester Airport has a new boss, Chris Woodroofe, who took on the role after former managing director Karen Smart resigned to pursue “fresh opportunities”. Mr Woodroofe has admitted customers had suffered a “poor” experience and said peak-time queues would continue over the coming months, advising passengers to arrive three hours before their flights.

Earlier this month, he said Manchester is now aiming for 93% of passengers to complete security in less than 30 minutes. It’s hoped this will soon rise to 95%.
With thousands of people travelling through the hub each day, airport bosses have now shared a way people can escape the "hustle and bustle".
On Wednesday, a tweet from the airport's official account showed a photo of a calm, empty area within the site. The tweet said: "Looking for a space away from the hustle and bustle of the terminal?
"We have additional seating in our new T3 quiet zone, located on the upper level of the departure lounge, featuring great airfield views".
Responding to the tweet, Martin Smith said: "Now that's a positive", while Melimelog said: "Hey, don't reveal my quiet spot!". Sara Smith said: "I found this when I went from Manchester recently and it was a great find!"
