Leave everything you know about airports at the door when you step inside the new Terminal 2 at Manchester Airport.
Forget the chaos of security, the overpriced sandwiches at boring chains and exclusive lounges with no guests allowed.
As part of the airport's £1bn transformation, Terminal 2 has had a serious makeover - and it's anything but basic.

Inside are 15 new restaurants, bars and shops - some with very distinct Mancunian roots as well as popular chains that have moved into the UK's third-largest airport for the first time.
Grab and go options from familiar faces Archie's, Barburitto, Grindsmith and Pot Kettle Black are all in the departure lounge alongside Duty-Free shops - once you get past security which has also had an updo.
Other eateries include Instagramable hotspots: The Apiary and Daisy Nook - which have views over the airfield that's bigger than the Eithad Stadium and Old Trafford combined.
Other nods to Manchester include honeycombe ceiling lights - which can be transformed into any colour combination for any event, including Pride's multi-coloured flag.
New places opening on the second floor also include the San Carlo Group's first-ever airport venue - San Carlo Cicchetti and two fancy drink venues.
The Bridgewater Exchange has teamed up with Joseph Holt to run it's own microbrewery - brewing a special beer that you can only drink at Manchester Airport.
Directly opposite is the Amber Alehouse, working with Seven Bro7hers Brewery - hailing from Salford.
There punters can literally grab a flight, three of the most popular brews with their own unique story about Manchester.
Tucked away at the back of the airport are two lounges with stunning panoramic views across the flight paths.
The first, The Escape Lounge, is the cheaper, but my no means lesser, of the two at £30.
Inside, the chefs prepare tasty buffets for breakfast, lunch and dinner and booze at the bar is included in the price.
The more upmarket of the two, The 1903 - named after the year that the first-ever flight took off, is just next door and priced at £40.
Here the small team of in-house chefs - led by passionate head Andy Jackson - prepare small dishes of food in a theatrical style, live on hot plates in front of the guests.
The wow factor rolls over onto the sides with rows of fresh pastries, bright salads and gooey cakes lined up for taking.
Those using the lounge can get the wifi and download copies of popular magazines and newspapers which can then be read on the flight too.
There's a couple of self-serve bars with tiny touches of Manchester entwined - like bottles of Manchester gin and straws with little pictures of bees on.
Champagne is chilling in the fridge and there are jugs of fresh orange juice ready to go.
As places around the world start opening up and it gets easier to travel, Manchester's airport is ready and waiting.
