Did the terminal have seats to sit on?.
Was the check in desk staffed?
Could you get a pint if you wished?
Did you like the short walk from the terminal to the gates?
Do you need more shops when the a/p flight to Malaga in the Summer is the longest distance flown from BLK, will more shops make your flight faster, more comfy?
Did you manage to board your a/c despite the "Breeze Blocks"?
I like your comparison with Tesco - Never flown from there myself.
In short al446 - BLK is a small regional airport, and what matters is catching a flight on time, more shops will not affect your or my flights.
You mention the word "crap" - Crap is walking a mile to the gates at Palma, or finding yourself waiting at the wrong set of gates at Malaga for the return flight.
I am flying from MAN end of June because no flight available from BLK, and am flying from BLK end of July - I know which experience I will find most tolerable.
