It is workable to operate out of LBA to the Middle East along side the Manchester Operations and my money would be on emirates if any of them. I know emirates have a major prescence at MAN and I ain’t going to doubt but I want to compare MAN/LBA with two other airports of similar distance and...

The T & A have a little article on their website about the Airport and it’s Passenger usage for 2017. http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/15893942.Airport_flying_high_with_record_passenger_numbers/

Just out of curiosity, I don’t know if this has been mentioned before and I do apologise if it has, but will this car park have it’s own shuttle bus service to and from the airport or will it use the current shuttle bus service which will extend up to this car park, for example it might do...

Part of the works will be that but I also believe part of it is to update the scanners to make them compliant with the latest rules and regulations set by CAA (I think it’s the CAA) inregards to hold luggage screening.

Noticed today as passing through security an advert has appeared promoting the routes with Thomas Cook to Turkey from the Airport. It’s nice to see the routes are being promoted in some form.

Didn’t know that one to be fair, I thought it was linked to Hall B Baggage Handling System upgrade.

Never understood why emirates got rid of the A330 so soon. Sure enough I understand how they aim to have a young aircraft fleet and replace them on a regular basis. But personally feel the A330 would come in handy right about now for them, would have tidy the gap until the 787-10 arrival. The...

The airport has started work on upgrading the baggage belt in hall b. Don’t know if it’s been mentioned on here that work is to take place, and if so what the work is.

Think if Sharm does make a comeback it will either be TUI or Thomas Cook to offer it. Can’t see Jet2 going back, but could be proven wrong.

This is very true indeed a lot of people who use LBA book the assistance just incase its a long walk to the aircraft, which if it is they will use the service, if it’s only a short distance they will tend to manage by themselves. Unforntately they don’t always tell the assistance they don’t need...

If only, clearly having read that comment from Willie Walsh we won’t be seeing an increase to the flights anytime soon.

BA can also be overpriced on routes too, having learnt this recently when booking a flight for a family member to Helsinki. Going with KLM via Amsterdam return was only £239 compared to BA wanting £780. Quite a bit of difference here. Also, this is personal opinion of mine, I feel that the...

Best bet is if your dropping somebody off is to drop off in the free one hour parking to avoid a charge, fair dos they will have to walk 5 minutes up to the terminal. If not your only option is the Express section which is a £3 charge. I don’t think you can use the bus lane for drop and go, but...

Frustrating how only in October this was heavily PR about the new base, come forward two months and they can’t seem to give us a straight definite answer about the base. If they don’t go ahead with the base and routes on offer it will seriously make people think twice about booking with them.

Must admit this change has totally messed my travel plans up for June next year. I was planning a trip to Gibraltar and was going to fly from LBA with BA via Heathrow. Would have meant I wouldn’t had to handle the stress of the M62 and would have been able to stay in bed longer, Now with this...

Don’t think we will have a BA Service this time next year. Shame really it is.

There’s also 14. Only reason I remember is because it’s the furthest stand to walk in from and I’ve walked down the walkway from there on numerous occasions.

Aslong as there is a marked out road between stands you can park 757 next to one another. The reason for this is due to the wingtips.

It would be nice if we regained the Glasgow route but, from personal experience it’s too costly compared to train. When I looked at bpoking at the beggining of this year the return fare was just shy of £140 compared the train which was £19 return, fair enough the train takes four hours but I’d...
