Manchester Airport's latest guidance warns passengers to expect "longer than usual" security queues at some times of the day.
The airport has hit headlines in recent weeks and months as passengers bemoaned waiting in long queues at security. To ensure people make their flights, passengers should arrive at the airport up to three hours before flights are due to take off.
Airport bosses have recently said security waiting times are falling dramatically despite it experiencing its busiest time since before the covid lockdown.

Earlier this month, Ian Costigan, Chief Operating Officer of Manchester Airport, said passengers would see an "improved experience" by the autumn with the airport in a "much better place by next summer". He added that 92% of passengers got through security in under 30 minutes in July.
But the most up-to-date advice on the airport's website says: "During the coming weeks we expect security queues to be longer than usual at times".
Further guidance reads: "In order to help make your journey as smooth as possible, passengers are asked not to arrive more than three hours before their flight. Those who arrive earlier than that may be asked to wait away from the check-in area until the recommended time for passing through security.
"This is to reduce waiting times in both security and the departure lounge. We appreciate your understanding."
Manchester Airport's website also now provides estimated security wait times in real time, for each Terminal (1, 2 and 3). At the time of publication the estimated times were as follows:
- Terminal 1: 15-30 minutes
- Terminal 2: 0-15 minutes
- Terminal 3: 0-15 minutes
