Hey everyone.. Most of you probably know that I'm flying from Belfast to Manchester (On Sunday 29th June) then from Manchester to Dalaman.. (Mon 30th June) But my flight from Belfast is at 8ish which means I'm in Manchester roughly around 9 then are flight to Dalaman is on 10am in the morning which means we have to check in about 6am in the morning..
I'm not sure of Manchester Airport, and what facilities are there.. but i was undering do you all think i would need to book a hotel for a couple of hour's or do you think we would be ok to sit about and get something to etc..
Look forward from hearing from you all

Hi Lynsey, I don't think the VIP lounges are open at night/early hours of the morning. Like womble said the hotels are quite expensive around the airport area.Gosh you have quite a few hours to kill don't you. There will be places open to get food /drink etc but at the usual airport rip-off prices. Pity I'm away in Dublin that weekend or you could have nipped round here for a coffee while you wait

Hiya, just had a look and the lounges open at 05.30 in the morning and close at 7-30 - 8-00 at night. I am right in that you'll be there during the night am I?? How ridiculous that they close, they would have been ideal.

It's ok Womble agreed and paid the price at time of booking.Wasn't to bad considering and at least I know they will be safe.Thank you everyone who came up with suggestions,just a pity the VIP lounge wasn't open all night.

That's the Hilton for you John. I used to be in the
Hotel trade, some of the Hilton hotels are over priced hovells. There just franchises now adays.
