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

Dreadful return from holiday
Our plane landed at about 5.45pm. Once we left the plane we had a lengthy walk, in bitterly cold weather, to join the long queue for passport control. We were queueing outside, in freezing temperatures, for well over thirty minutes before our place in the queue reached the inside of the building, where we queued for at least another thirty minutes.
The walkway outside, interspersed with glass tunnels was totally grim: dirty, unpleasant, unwelcoming and unfit for purpose. The intense cold and wind made it incredibly uncomfortable and, whilst the tunnels provided slight respite from the biting winds, for a huge part of the time there was no protection at all. Thankfully, it wasn’t raining! There appears to be a complete lack of any consideration for the welfare of customers.
I can honestly say our arrival into Liverpool was the worst we have experienced in over forty years travelling around the world.
If the airport buildings cannot support the number of people arriving at any one time, then something needs to be done! The current situation is totally unacceptable.
Toilet facilities in the baggage…
Toilet facilities in the baggage collection hall need some serious attention. Arrived from Lanzarote with easyJet and everything was fine until my wife and I visited the toilets in the baggage collection hall to find 3 out of the 5 ladies toilets were out of order causing queues and the urinals in the gents toilets were all blocked and swimming in urine. Not good for visitors to an international airport.
Baggage Collection on Arrival is a Disgrace
I would like to give Liverpool JL Airport 5 Stars for the outbound side of the business. Baggage handling is what lets this airport down. A minimum wait of 45 minutes to receive bags. Just landed from Gran Canaria after a 4.5 hour flight. Made to stand in a cold baggage area and expected to accept that a 45 minute wait for bags is a reasonable waiting period It isn’t, especially when our flight was the only flight arrival. Worst post-flight service and it lets the city of Liverpool down badly.
Parking Scam - Where is my refund?
I used to prefer this airport. After the arrival of Jet2 they've gone right downhill in terms of customer service and experience.
I cancelled my parking on 14th Dec and rebooked for a different date. Today is 8th January and I STILL have not received my refund for the cancelled parking which was about £112, despite receiving the cancellation email the same day.
I phoned up and they agreed, I should have had a refund by now, but I needed to fill in a contact form for Customer Services. I am still waiting on a reply from them, so I have also filed a complaint through Paypal. The refund process should be automated. I have done this in the past and Manchester Airport refund parking cancellations the same day. Looks like I'll be going back to Manchester in future I am very disappointed to say.
Totally unprepared for a bit of snow.
Totally unprepared for a bit of snow.. Front entrance not gritted or snow cleared.. Tiny little gritter by gate 8,9,10 trying to clear the snow.. 1 snow plough clearing a runway. Causing us to have 26 hour delay .. freezing cold terminals..No push back available to get our flight away so a further 2 hour delay on tarmac ..
Other regional airports seemed to get operational ..You want to promote other airlines to use your airport but the infrastructure needs serious work.. Sort yourself out Liverpool Airport just not good enough !!
Shocking
Drove to the Drop off 2 car park yesterday which I’ve done several times before, only to find the time you have for free has been decreased to 20 mins instead of 40! I walked my friend to the airport which took 10 mins, said goodbye and rushed back as quickly as I could possibly walk, only to find I was ONE minute past the 20 minutes and was subsequently charged £8 on the way out! Absolutely disgusting! Why have you reduced the free time to 20 minutes which makes it completely impossible to get back to the car without a charge!?
This airport is a small one pretending…
This airport is a small one pretending to be a big one. The only thing good about it is the staff. It's a nightmare to drive to. It is badly signed for parking. Meet and Greet is not near the terminal, especially if it's raining. The toilets weren't very clean, and the hike to the aircraft, along the plastic and scaffolding tunnel in the rain and wind was the straw that broke the camel's back. Back to Manchester for us in future!
Excellent staff
Excellent staff , I’m a lone traveler and couldn’t ask for a better experience so helpful.
Left to sleep in freezing airport
Flight home to Spain was cancelled and was put on next day flight.. we were around 30 passengers left at the airport and was told to wait by Swissport staff to arrange our accommodation. We waiting 4 hours to be told no accommodation is being offered, by this time it's almost 11pm! We thehad to sleep in a freezing dirty terminal along with elderly and disabled people! Swissport staff are lazy, rude and basically the roughest people they could to find to work there! It's one of the worst airports I have travelled through. No
There is no place to quickly drop off...
There is no place to quickly drop off someone,
close to the main building, who is unwell, needs to use the toilet quickly or is unable to walk a long distance from the car park. Any stop, even for 10 seconds, will result in a hefty fine of £100. This is a very small airport and something like this is completely absurd. Scandal and treating people like garbage.
Absolutely fabulous
Hotel to airport 10 minutes, car park to bag drop 5 minutes. Dropped bag and through border control in 20 minutes. Picked up gin ordered online, and you just have to love the music in the departure lounge 05.00, wonderful. Staff polite friendly and efficient, see you again soon. Highly recommended.
super quick out and return
Always a treat coming through Liverpool it’s a shame they don’t fly to more places then we wouldn’t have to use the catastrophically bad Manchester airport as much.
Avoid the official meet and greet car…
Avoid the official meet and greet car park. I’ve returned to £200 of damage that they’re denying, and also lying about the time the car was moved.Completely dishonest. Park your car yourself, preferably at another airport.

Found the whole process simple and very comfortable on arrival and departure time. Prefer Liverpool to most other airports in uk. Much friendlier as well.
Great service
We checked into the sable cafe this morning and a young man called Owen served us , what a credit he is to the airport, the coffee was cold and we ask could we change , no fuss and straight away he brought a nice hot coffee !!!
He then came back to check we were happy , keep up the good work Owen we need more people like you !!
Shut the airport down
Staff very rude very unhelpful lazy strolling around missed flight due to unhelpful staff 1 hour to get through security bag check we told one staff member could he please check our bag due to getting to gate closing he walked even slower to check our bags ignorant people a complete shambles that airport avoid
shocking website and booking failure
shocking website, not only slow, but frustrating. I tried 10 times to book parking. All the fields are correct. But keeps asking for the flight which it finds when I start typing. But kicks me back to the begining. I book at lease once a month at Manchester airport without an issue, so not a dummy. I gave up.
Lack of flight information
We had a flight to Dublin on Oct 20th, it was delayed because of bad weather. The Liverpool information boards did not mention this or give a time of departure for us. The Dublin Airport website was able to give our correct arrival time. Why couldn't Liverpool Airport do this?
Boarding took 50 minutes into a room with very few chairs. We again were left with no information about the departure time.
I am unsure why there is complete silence around delays. The two Dublin flights before us also had no information on screen for customers. Surely, this is an easy thing to do?
Smooth procedure Parking from entering terminal…
Smooth procedure from entering terminal to boarding aircraft.
Parking only problem.Signage for Smart Parking dwarfed by alternative parking .Early in the morning easy to end up in wrong park and be charged extra £16 on exit.?.? Be wary.
Service is getting worse and worse for more and more money…
My sons easyjet flight from Palma landed at 1.01 am 19 minutes early. The Jet2 Heraklion flight arrived at 1.07am 5 mins late. No steps brought to Palma flight for 15 mins yet Heraklion flight disembarked. No luggage for Palma flight for an hour. Yet Heraklion flight had luggage. Was this dependent on airline you fly with feels like it. Two other flights due at same time delayed so no pressure on airport. Obviously not enough staff. Who chooses how staff service flights? It happens I know but sadly this has a knock on effect for anybody collecting from the airport as there is nowhere to park and wait whilst the airport gets its act together. Unless of course you pay extortionate parking charges for over an hour. It's £5 just to drive in and get them. For the price of flying things need to be addressed and profit margins narrowed. Employ more staff if you can't cope when flights are early or late I think that's probably the nature of your business.
