This is a small Boots location, after security at Manchester Airport Terminal 1. It's a useful stop to get any last-minute toiletries, beauty items or bottled drinks and snacks ahead of your flight.
The prices for drinks seemed between 10-15% more than a regular Boots location, a little expensive but still priced competitively for the Airport.
The store feels modern like it has been refreshed lately and it's easy to find what you need, although the store is small so it shouldn't be too difficult anyway.
The selection in the store again seemed fine, I was able to get what I was looking for, but that was just a Lipton Iced Tea and cola.
There are only manned checkouts here, I prefer a balance of both a staffed checkout and self-service, the latter is especially important for a travel environment where customers will be in a rush and I find this easier in general.
PRO TIP: Use Boots' click-and-collect service to order your toiletries and other items here. If you allow enough time you can do this and avoid paying the inflated Airport prices.
