Manchester-Boston Regional Airport

I visited to pick up a rental car. The terminal is not as confusing as Logan International Airport. The car rental section is connected to the huge parking 🅿️ garage. $3 an hour to park, $14 for 24 hours. With the government shutdown, the airport seems unusually quiet. I have priced 💸 flying out of here and ticket 🎫 prices increase quite a bit. I visited the terminal briefly via the walkway access from the garage. The place reminds me of the movie 🎥"THX-1138" without the crowds of people. Very white!

Clean Airport, with super friendly information desk staff ! They were literally greeting every single passenger and asking if they needed any assistance or guidance !

One of the easiest airports to get in and out of. The parking garage which is connected via catwalk maxes out at $14/day which is a great deal and has signs telling you what floors and spaces are open. Security is usually very quick to get through with the caveat of watch the usual busy times but still 1000% better than many other airports particularly Logan. It lacks the number of direct flights, but let's face air travel in general is a trap shoot these days, so all the other conveniences of this airport make it the best choice for flying into and out of the area.

Love it. Much more convenient than overloaded Logan. The parking is $14/day vs $46/day at Logan. Great staff.

Small airport with some decent direct flight options. Parking garage is only option as long term lot has been closed, but it is convenient and resonably priced. Very fast through baggage check and security. The terminal interior is starting to show its age in places but it is clean and well kept.

Manchester–Boston Regional is a nice smaller airport that’s very easy to work with. TSA and the staff are friendly, and navigating through the terminal is simple and straightforward. The airport is clean and well-kept, and the rental cars being right across the street makes pickup incredibly easy. Overall, it’s always a smooth and pleasant place to fly in or out of.

Easy in and out though I miss not having NH State Liquor Store inside the gate area, very handy when going to see relatives especially around the holidays. Also, the hotel shuttle bus waiting area needs some heat! It is a very convenient place to fly from or to.

Very easy airport to fly in and out of when you don't feel like dealing with traffic to Logan. The terminal is small, but security is always quick. The only downside to this airport is the lack of airlines that fly out of here, and flights are much more expensive than flights out of Boston.

Great small airport with easy access to rental cars and limited amount of TSA lines. There is a TSA Pre Check lane but no Clear. Security wait times are posted to https://www.flymanchester.com/flights-airlines/security-wait-times/. Bathrooms are clean and well kept. Due to the limited number of gates and traffic, the in terminals stores/bar/food options may vary on availability/open times. Also due to the limited number of flights, cancellations may not have any additional placement options until the next day :-) By baggage claim there is a nice little historical booth with the presidential election memorabilia!

It's wild to look back and realize it's been 8 years since I first reviewed this airport. Yet in all that time, my overall rating for this place has not changed. Know why? Because MHT understands what makes an airport stand out: efficiency. Now, if you want to know more about them as an elaborate airfield equipped with all the modern day amenities one comes to expect, read my previous review. Today, I wanna highlight their TSA Precheck renewal service. So, despite the mildly annoying NH requirement to arrive in person to renew your precheck if you've lived here for less than 5 years, I am pleased to report that the entire process only takes around 15 minutes. That is....so long as you bring all of your required documentation. They take your fingerprints, photo, and payment all from an iPad-like device located at this one lonely table in the middle of the front lobby. I was slightly worried I was gonna have to go on a safari hunt to track down the TSA desk, but nope! It was easy-peazy. I think the most shocking part for me was the fact they validate your parking ticket before you leave the airport. Noice! Speaking of which, the daily parking sign said it was like 3 bucks for 30 minutes at the time of writing this review. Frickin' wild times, man! So glad the validation thing exists and that now-a-days I simply take a shuttle to Boston Airport to catch all my flights. Nothing against MHT, of course; except for the fact that they have far less direct destinations than BOS. Not to mention....Delta Airlines isn't even an available option here. Lame! But I won't remove a star for that because at the end of the day, it's all about the efficiency within the airport itself. And as far as I'm concerned, MHT ranks right up there with BOS. It's just smaller and less noisy with fewer choices of where one can get a direct flight. But if it fits within your budget, I highly recommend investing in the TSA Precheck. It's good for 5 years for a relatively nominal fee. And on that note, I'm giving Manchester Boston Regional Airport 5 eager passengers getting expedited through the TSA Precheck line out of 5.

This a convenient and small airport. You will find all the major carriers here or their regional partners as well as a few smaller and lesser known carriers. There is a TSA pre-check lane but no Clear and no airline lounges. There is a large parking garage in front which is where you find the rental cars. There are a few food and drink options including a Starbucks. The whole place is extremely clean and well kept. Overall this is a very convenient and modern albeit small airport!

I love this little airport in Manchester. The terminal is small and easy to get around. Pick up and drop off are easy. The airport is not crowded and there are super friendly people stationed around the airport to answer questions. Checkin was easy. There is only one TSA screening point and Pre-checks have a separate line that moves straight to the front. There are not a lot of restaurants, but enough to serve the needs. There is a Sam Adams, Burger King and Starbucks. I was able to find what I needed. There are charging stations scattered throughout. The restrooms are a little dated but clean. I flew in to not the New England fall foliage and visit several historic sites. The airport is centrally located near throughways without being congested.

have not been to this airport in 22 years Very clean the check point was only 2 mins wish they had places to eat but they open at 6 flight is at 545. At the airport at 4 am

MHT is a smaller regional airports, about 60 minutes north of Boston. Because of being smaller, it's much easier to get in and out of and that's great! One way in for security/checkpoints and it goes super quick! There are a handful of gates to come in and go out of, as well as a handful of restaurants and shops inside and outside of the checkpoint. They also have car rental onsite, for a super easy pickup and return process. All in all, a great option that is easy to navigate. Only downside is that there are a limited number flights to most destinations. So it could be a waiting game if you're trying to get in and out in the same day or overnight.

There aren't too many airports that can match all the qualities and features of this Regional Airport. I flew in here over the Independence Holiday to visit family and this was the second visit in 2 years. It's a great design and so easy to navigate. There are so many food and beverage options. The baggage retrieval is so easy and there is always someone there to answer any questions. The drop off/pick up is so smooth and easy as well. So clean and well managed!

Lovely regional airport near Boston. It's pretty darn small, so getting through TSA took all of 10 minutes even with a suitcase that needed to be double checked. They have a Starbucks, Burger King. and Sam Adams restaurant, so all of the essentials are covered. I did notice that Hudson News was closing at around 3:30 when I arrived on Thursday and looked to be closed on Sunday morning when I departed. So I reckon there isn't much open late here if you are traveling in the evening.

It's nowhere near as bad as Boston Logan. But that's the only positive thing I can say about how it's being run now. Good luck getting it right home through Uber/Lyft.

Super easy to get in and out. Very much so like Dallas love field airport. I will continue to fly in and out of here and tell my family to as well

I was planning a trip to Boston and noticed the Manchester, NH airport was only about a 50 minute car ride to downtown Boston. I opted using this airport since I've heard the Logan airport can be rather busy. I landed about 8:30 pm and the airport was pretty full. I could tell it was tiny because it only took a few minutes to exit. I carried on my luggage so I'm not sure how busy the baggage area was. I can't imagine it being busy at all. The car rental pick up and return was also so easy. I also returned home using this airport and it was so easy. Absolutely no lines whatsoever going through TSA. They did have a Dunkin donut shop that was closed and a few other typical convenience shops. Would recommend if you are trying to avoid Logan airport.

Like the area, Manchester regional airport tries so hard to be like Massachusetts for whatever reason. Unfriendly staff, flight ended up being delayed 5 hours with little communication, and half the concession spaces were closed. Good part of this airport is that nobody was there. Now I know why. Just avoid here at all costs. Fly out of Boston, Portland, or even Hartford before flying out of this dump.

Smallest airport I have been too so far in my life. This isn't a bad thing though! Everything was SMOOTH. Bathrooms were clean and the bags came off the plane quickly. We were in a hurry to get to our car so we didn't have time to check out the food options here but there didn't appear to be that many, but it's a small airport so what can you expect? I saw only two baggage claims! Reading a lot of reviews saying this is the way to go to avoid Logan airport in Boston and I'd have to agree. Very easy airport.

It lacks a lot of amenities, but you know what? It's so nice to avoid Logan in Boston. Have been here and there numerous times. This is far easier in and out, as there aren't hordes of the masses. Getting through TSA is a quite laid back experience, and I like that you don't have throngs of people everywhere. That is a sound reason to go here if you can. There aren't a lot of flights, and the Sam Adams restaurant isn't my favorite. This morning saved money with Burger King. There's also a Dunkin Donuts. There are the usual Hudson stores, that are in every airport selling books and assorted souvenirs. The employees here are helpful, and access for all is wonderful. I like knowing that there won't be, in addition to flights, any more stress to deal with.

OMG. I love flying in and out of Manchester airport. So much simpler compared with Logan. In and out in a breeze! No traffic, no waiting line. Highly recommend!

This is a smaller airport than Boston and actually much easier to fly in and out of, however there are limitations in regard to not many flights especially on stops so those would be out of Boston only

I just flew to Florida via a connection in baltimore. I remember when this airport was friendly, cheaper, and convenient. It is now A DISASTER! They have completely ruined this airport. Southwest is hundreds of dollars more expensive than BOS, ALB, and PWM which never used to be the case. Flights were delayed, TSA acted as if passengers were a burden, and nothing was open. Fly somewhere else.

Definitely a better choice than flying into Boston if possible. The airport is small and easy to navigate, vendors are open early so you can get a 6am coffee and car rentals are easy to access. The TSA here was well equipped, super friendly and fast. The airport itself is a little dated and could use an update, but overall a great experience.

Holy hades hot This place is small, easy access blah blah blah, read up on the other yelpers..I'm having a 'Karen' moment (lol) BUT really folks, there is no AC and for me, dressed in winter gear because it's winter.... If a big fat zero stars. Is this a thing? Is this typical? I know y'all northerners don't even have AC in your homes.... 1 restaurant 1 BK 1 DD (outside the terminal) TSA pretty quick

So I've been waiting to leave a review for these people and the airport employees So I wanted to rent a van for a long distance trip I booked it for a month because I was relocating now I get to the place let it be know I booked it through Priceline at that they turned around and said I needed a credit card I told them I don't have a credit card I have a debit card they told me they would have to charge me a 300$$ deposit I agreed I was then turned away So then as I was leaving I go to the guy I. The booth and told him I came here for a rental and was turned away the man in the booth said to never come back there or next time he was gonna call the police and get drug dogs and I will be arrested I really didn't understand why was being treated this way all I wanted to do was exit but was told never to come back all because I wanted to rent a van from budget for all the employees that work for Manchester airport please seek help in manners and being kind clearly you guys don't have any of the following Happiness customer service hospitality and just over all a human being

This is a small regional airport and there are things I liked, as well as things that could be improved. When I flew in, arriving around 5pm, we literally had to wait because they didn't have enough ground crew. Thats pretty ridiculous...5pm on Friday, American didn't have enough staff on the ground?? Then, it took quite awhile for the luggage to finally arrive, many weren't thrilled about that. Flying out, TSA was a breeze...no issues there and I was pleased to see shops opening very early (about 5-5:30 am. But what I was very surprised to find was a shocking lack of trash bins. There is nowhere to throw away coffee cups or food wrappers! At least there weren't at thar time....and I looked. Also, I didn't see anywhere for charging devices...this airport needs to get with the times technologically speaking. Could have been worse, but could have been much better too.

Quick in and out. Friendly and helpful staff. This is a great alternative to Logan and other area airports. The airport was clean and comfortable despite its small size. I liken it to Providence and Atlantic City. Luggage came out quickly.The only negative is the facilities if you want to eat;but we rarely eat anything at an airport so it isn't a big deal.

I don't think I'll ever fly out of MHT again. I had flown from here many times in the past, pre-Covid-19, but now, in 2023, it's not worth it. It costs $14 per day to park, which is insane for the location. And worst of all, there is no way to get back to MHT if the drama of wide-spread flight cancellations happen. I was booked on a flight from Pittsburgh to MHT, connecting in Philadelphia last Sunday. Pittsburgh flight delayed 2 hours. Then, I sat on the runway for another hour and a half before the flight was cancelled. It took 2 hours in line (aa.com overwhelmed) to get rebooked- from Pittsburgh to Atlanta to Washington to Boston. Ummm.... my car is at MHT! There is no ground transportation between Boston and MHT unless you want to spend hundreds of dollars for a private car service that may not even be available at midnight, when my flight was landing. Fortunately, I called my sister in WV and she picked me up and took me to her house. I paid for the gas! Flew from Charleston to Charlotte to MHT 36 hours later. Ridiculous! Never again. If you fly out of MHT, you may never return.

Staff are unfriendly and incompetent. Annoying to have to hear them give you updated information you can get from an email. Unsympathetic when flight issues arise.

MHT is an excellent regional airport as it's small, quiet and close enough to Boston that it can be very useful for folks who live north of the city as an alternative. That said, the fares into MHT compared to BOS are always especially competitive so be sure to check before booking. Regional airports mean that there isn't much going on here. There is one crew unloading and loading baggage so it can take a bit for them to get the baggage to the carousel, but it's a short walk from the gates to baggage claim and then the rental cars are just across the way. I love it when a shuttle bus isn't required to get to the rental cars - it's a big reason I dislike BWI and LAS and IAD so much. Returning to the airport is easy, they have their own exit from the small Everett Turnpike which has no toll! Bonus! Good signage and easy to get back from the rental car drop to the ticket counters. And then, a quick escalator, through security (easy!) and on the concourse, there are a few spots to get a drink or a bite or do some shopping. I enjoyed my experience through MHT. I look forward to returning! [Review 10434 overall, 201 of 2019.]

A small airport, efficient security check. I suspect that they recently jacked up the parking rate ($14/day). There is a Starbucks open early post-security.

When we fly we fly into and out of our local airport it's easy for us. The staff is helpful and friendly and ever so KIND! Our most recent trip we waited a bit for our flight due to returning car rental, no worries though, Jorgette got restless so we went on a walk. What use to be smoking room is now a safe space for our pets to relive themselves all equipped with wash area and indoor clean super clean space! Manchester you went above and beyond for the love of fur babies thank you from this fur babies mama appreciate you all!

Small airport. Great alternative to Logan. Especially if you have to travel during rush hour - it can be faster to get to Manchester. Super fast check in. Especially with TSA pre screen. Parking is only $15 per day. And you can actually walk to the terminal from Lang term parking. No cell phone lot. But nobody complained while my ride waited for me to exit.

We like to vacationing in Maine and are from the Chicago area. One the issues we have in getting to destinations in Maine is we have to fly into Boston which is a challenge. It is also can be rather expensive. We were looking for an alternative airport so I decided to contact Manchester Boston Regional Airport. Not wanting to wait on customer service I decided to do something different; I called on one of the airport managers and spoke to Louis Elguezabal and share my grief about Logan. Louis proceeded to tell me Manchester Boston Regional Airport is less expensive to fly into, the airport is 1.5 hours further north of Logan meaning less traffic and chaos, and car rentals are less expensive. All the sudden traveling to Maine on Route 1 is less of issue. Louis, you could of just told me to wait and talk to customer service. Instead you provided a great pre planning guide for our next trip to Maine. THANK YOU!

While going through security, I was molested by a TSA agent. I was wearing a watch while passing through the metal detector, but instead of flagging my wrist (or nowhere, as the machines at other airports do), they decided that my crotch was suspicious and needed a pat-down inspection. Do not fly out of Manchester if you don't want to be touched inappropriately.

Nice clean airport. Much easier to fly into Manchester than into Boston. Good amount of electrical/charging stations that are lacking at other airports. Had a Duncan for my favorite coffee in the morning.

Very easy airport. Clean and decent number of food choices. And much to my surprise, they had KCM! They just got it at the beginning of October, and I was fully prepared to go through TSA pre-check. But I'll take KCM over that any day. Love when that happens! Kind of a long walk down to the United gates, but not that big of a deal, since the airport is not gigantic anyhow. The ONLY small complaint was all the construction in the car rental area of the garage. I could barely hear what they were saying when I picked up and dropped off my car.

First time flying into and out of MHT. It was was pretty smooth and had no real issues. The airport staff were helpful. Clear signage through the building. It was a nice change to travel into a smaller airport and not have to take several trains to just get to the baggage claim or ground transportation. My only issue with this airport is the setup for rental cars. They have Avis combined with another car rental service and there was only one person assisting the line which of course happened to be the longest. As a preferred member, there is an unclear sign against a back wall that directs you outside. However when you go outside it is hard to see where the Avis booth is. Found out after wandering out into the parking lot. Once at the booth, there was yet again, only one person assisting both preferred and regular members. People who had to check-in inside the terminal still had to go outside and get into a different line to get keys and a rental agreement. Begs the question: what is the point of the inside counter? I've made a note to self: don't use Avis at MHT.

Nice, easy, airport terminal to fly out and in. Agents are super nice and friendly. Transition thru security is smooth and alot of times there's no lines. Parking in the garage is $18 a day or $85 a week, but there is a low cost parking for $10 a day with shuttle service on airport property. There is one restaurant pre-security (along with a Dunkins) and a few places to eat post-security. There is a clean quiet business center room post-security. Gate area clean with outlets to charge devices. Very nice terminal overall. I would recommend flying out of Manchester (MHT) over Boston (Bos) any day.

I love how empty this airport always is, clean and easy to get through. Staff is extremely rude though, airport gets 5 stars, 1 star for staff.

Manchester Airport is a dream to fly in and out of compared to Logan/Boston. I can drive right up without hassle or traffic. Park and leave my car for $8 bucks a day with peace of mind it wont be broken into or stolen. No bridge or tunnel tolls either. I do not know why the name was changed to Manchester/ Boston Regional Airport. I be live it should have been renamed New England Regional or NEI (like BWI). Much more appropriate, don't ya think? Anyways I like this airport, its new, modern, easy to get to, has a good selection of airlines (not as much as Logan) I like to fly Southwest. So that's my Rave for this place. Nuf Said.

Manchester Boston Regional Airport is the type of small Airport that I love! Easy to get in and out! Easy to get to the rental cars, decent dining and beverage options, comfortable gate areas, good AC, easy to find electrical outlets - and the place is clean! The TSA agents were very friendly. I had no one in front of me as I entered the Security checkpoint and so breezed right through! There are no Airline Clubs at this Airport, but if you have an Airline Club/Lounge membership - such as United Club or the Admirals Club, you can gain admittance to the Airport's own small Airline lounge called "The Granite Club," which is located near Gate 4. There are a number of dining options pre and post security. There is a Starbucks post security, as well as a couple of pubs that serve both food and alcohol, a Quiznos, a couple of Hudson News Outlets, a Dunkin' Donuts, and perhaps a couple of other joints that I missed. Everyone working here was very nice! Can't wait to fly through this Airport again!

I love this airport. It took me 20 minutes from pulling into the garage to the gate. Plus they have a Brass Moose

If you need your balls readjusted by a depressed 34 year old with nothing behind the eyes then this is your destination. Not convinced? How about a TSA agent who tosses someone's boarding pass (to the wrong bin) and misses. Causing the pass to go through the transfer rollers and under the the conveyer. THEN the owner of said passes has to crawl underneath to retrieve it. Would go again.

This is a great small airport. Rental cars are very easy to get to and the wayfinding signage is great. Security has always been a breeze and employees are pleasant. There are plenty of places here you'd expect at a big airport and happy to see at a small one. There's a Starbucks before and after security. There's a wine outlet, Burger King, and Hudson News, of course. There are other places to eat and shop. It's designed such that every gate has a full view of the planes and tarmac. Plus, there are charging areas and clean restrooms. So much better flying in and out of here- no crazy traffic when you exit the airport. No hassles and it was surprisingly affordable to fly in out and of here.

I had the pleasure of using Manchester airport last week for a business trip. As always this airport never fails to provide a fantastic travel experience! The security lines are never crowded, TSA I professional, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable! The stores and restaurant options are competitive with the larger airports! Plenty of public transportation everyday and available at all times! The airport is extremely easy to navigate! I've never switched gates or experienced significant delays like you do in Boston! There's never traffic! I personally will only use Manchester for my business and personal travel needs! I highly recommend this airport! Five stars hands down!

Recently visited this airport again after it had been 19 years since I last flew through here. The airport itself has gotten a little larger and the huge garage across from the airport terminal is a nice addition, but a little bit of a pain in the ass when trying to rent a car. But I guess the airport and the number of people traveling through here has increased quite a bit over the past 19 years. Aside from a long wait at the Enterprise Car Rental counter, it was easy in, easy out on arrival. Coming back to the airport, the rental car return was easy and getting my bag checked and getting through security was a cinch! I arrived way early for my return flight, and found a nice selection of eateries on the other side of security and that was nice since I had so much time to kill before boarding my flight. All in all, I love this small airport and hope to see it again on a future flight to this region. Highly recommend if you can fly here versus flying to Boston.

This is a smaller regional airport but it's large enough to handle some volume and larger planes. There are 15 gates here and only one main terminal so you won't be shuttling via train from different terminals. The parking and rental car facility are close and within walking distance. The TSA lines seem to move well both in the mornings and afternoons. The restaurants in the terminal are limited but there is a Starbucks, Burger King, a convenance store that opens around 4am and a few other stops in here as well in addition to many vending machines. Overall, this is a spacious airport that's easy to get in and out of. Enjoy!

Manchester airport isn't bad at all for a small sized airport. The size and layout remind me a little bit of Albany international (Albany, NY). Long term parking is fairly inexpensive for an airport. I believe I only paid $10/day for lot parking. The garage is more expensive obviously. I have the option of flying out of multiple airports due to where I live and I will definitely consider flying out of Manchester again in the future.

This airport is cleaner, less crowded, easier to get to and park, and generally a much nicer experience than Logan. Unfortunately, it is a rare occasion I ever use it because I have never-ever-ever since it opened, found airline tickets that were lower or at least the same price as Logan airlines. I have found that tickets to use this airport are much more expensive regardless of where or when I'm going or how many are going with me. It's unfortunate because I would prefer to use Manchester but the prices force me to just find a ride to Logan 99% of the time. Airline carriers need to step up their game so this airport doesn't go out of business.

Calm, quiet, with lots of comfortable seating inside and outside of TSA. We recently flew into this airport and liked it. Our final destination was north of Boston, so this one made sense for us, even though the fares were slightly higher than they would have been if we had gone through Logan (we flew Southwest). We just didn't want to deal with Boston traffic! Baggage came out quickly and restrooms were clean. The pickup area was a lot less manic than at larger airports, and that was a good thing. If I have to be near Boston again, I'd definitely consider paying a little more (but not a lot more) for the ease of Manchester Regional.

One of the better and cleaner small market airport. Parking is good and reasonable for an airport. I have completely avoided Logan now because MHT is such a user friendly airport.

This airport was perfect! Small, not crowded, new and clean, decent food options and minimal security lines. Baggage claim was quick and easy. Rental car area was convenient to get to and easy to access.

This airport was so easy to maneuver. So quick to park, go through security, and get to the gate! Only downside is that not many flights in and out. When our flight got cancelled we had a very difficult time getting back to Manchester. Had to stay an extra day away just to get back home. That's the difference with a smaller airport unfortunately!
