Get a feeling I may be an outlier with this, but I found Manchester very good today.
After a tricky auto land approach due to fog, it took us only 5 mins to taxi to the gate. Straight onto the bus and (knowing the rear left door trick), I was out and landside within 12 - 15 minutes of landing.
Airside for the return now. Thanks to a swift fast track security, I would say total time from wheels down to lounge was about 30 minutes.
T2 departures is a massive improvement from T3, and the escape lounge seems quite nice so far.
