As a Liverpudlian, I think Liverpool is such a kind friendly helpful mix of people. Until I got 2 JLA, going through security no 1 was smiling or welcoming. Had to get my case checked by sum horrible... See more

Special Assistance Abysmal!

I booked Special Assistance for my mother who is in a wheelchair The woman at the desk said there was no-one to bring us through security, that I would have to bring her through security and some one would meet us at the gate. There was no one at Security to direct us. At the gate two staff turned up, there was six people requiring Special Assistance, again there was no direction and the staff didn't seem to know what they were doing. I actually had to push the wheelchair right out to the ambilift. The reason you request Special Assistance is that you need help with a disabled person. The service was abysmal and discrimination against disabled people. Our experience in Belfast George Best Airport was excellent in every way, extremely helpful staff, couldn't do enough. John Lennon Airport take note !!!

dump

dump
arrived back on easyjet and landed on time, the walk from the plane to passport control is a disgrace, the glass walk way is filthy and not been cleane4d in a long time, once in the terminal building this is not much better with water stained ceiling tiles and general poor maintenance, not a very good impression to any international guests coming into Liverpool, got through passport control quick enough but then we had to wait 90 mins for our baggage, in the end another flights baggage was on the same conveyor and confusion all around, what a shambles, I approached a couple of hi fiz workers who were on wheelchair duties, not my problem mate was the reply, ok tell me where somebody is in charge to speak to, there is nobody he said, ok give me the number of your supervisor, he said no, again said not his problem and not interested, one has to remember that the fast majority of passengers have onward journeys to make but Liverpool airport are not interested as long as they are making money from the rip off parking charges, and as for the attitude of the staff Liverpool airport needs to take lessons from other spotlessly clean and efficient airports and learn some lessons
I hate to see the outcome when Jet2 start flying from there
what a dump!

Drop off parking troll

A bit silly to have a review for the whole airport because some bits are good others bad. I’m reviewing the dreadful drop off parking which now costs £5 for 5 minutes, and which goes up at a silly rate for longer. Completely contrived to extort money, a nominal £1 might be ok. This is not a major international airport where you sometimes encounter this sort of rip off. Unnecessary double reds on a long wide approach road to force you into paying. It’s simply a rip off and creates a bad impression. Compare with expensive city Copenhagen, free for 15 mins. shows decency and makes a good impression.

Best restaurant in Liverpool airport The estuary kitchen & Bar

Burger King waiting time 🤬staff very unhelpful wouldn’t server at the till said use self service
2 other bars restaurants said closing shortly as still winter timetable it’s the 8thJune 🤦‍♀️eventually went to
The Esteury kitchen and bar had a lovely meal and drinks, served by Antonio she was very friendly and helpful food was excellent would highly recommend. Aisha also was very friendly and helpful by far the best restaurant in Liverpool Airport. All the other restaurants need to take a leaf out of Antonio’s book for being friendly and helpful.will definitely wil eat there again

Crap service

Waited almost an hour for our luggage but the reply from John Lennon customer services basically said wasnt our fault, nearly an hour isnt too bad, no apology threw the blame on easyjet over the tannoy then swissport on an email. Typical slopey shoulder stuff its never our fault. This is the second time waited too long and we were the only plane in god help anyone when two planes land. Manchester next for us Im afraid.

The security took way too long to check…

The security took way too long to check our luggage and we were in a hurry to catch a plane. They laughed around, talked, moved slowly instead of hurrying up. They made a big deal out of our cosmetics bag. We missed a flight because of them and of course no one was willing to do anything about it. Thanks for all the trouble and lost money.

Liverpool airport is wonderful.

Liverpool airport is wonderful.
Everything is easy and stress free.
Car park is easy to find and plenty of places to park. Quick walk along to the terminal check in and boarding.
Return journey was equally easy and stress free.
I live in Manchester but from now on it will always be Liverpool.
Special mention to the guys at passport control. Friendly, easy chat about where we had been, real human contact. Very refreshing!

Highly Unprofessional

While I was checking in for my morning flight to Nice with my partner.
Everything was going fine, the flight was on time etc.

However when we got to the checkin desk, one of the management team was terrible.
They reprimanded the staff right in front of us!

It looked highly unprofessional and we was disgusted.

The manager took them behind a door & we could hear the argument from the other side!

This manager had black hair & glasses
She was VERY unprofessional

Machine is false

Has a machine that deliberately falsified the result of a test on a sealed factory deodorant. Management know this is happening but totally ignored the issue so they cN the Rob you I'm the retail outlet. Clever of them.to also send you through duty free to get to departures again so you will spend money with them and in turn the retailer will stay renting a unit and the Management can encourage others with the figures of big names providing rip off prices to pay for the assistance of JLA to assist in ripping the consumer off

Fast track security an absolute joke

Fast track security an absolute joke. Do not waste your money. Paid for it to find it shut when we got there. Complaint sent 3 times and they can’t even be bothered to respond!

Liverpool airport is the best

Liverpool airport is small, friendly, easily accessible. I regularly get from parking my car to departures in 15 minutes- friendly helpful security staff and plenty of them so no big queues. I drive past Manchester Airport to get to Liverpool- it is so much better! Use just park.com and park on a nearby drive - cheap, safe and plenty within 10 mins stroll of the terminal.

Scam Parking Tickets

Paid for parking & have received parking ticket stating I didn’t pay 3 weeks ago which i have sent proof on 2 appeals and both refused, Hotel have no record of me staying there although i paid for room, dinner and drinks and parking on my card. They only keep records for 2 weeks ago. I think a scam between hotel and parking company
