Hope you have a good flight Whirley
I don't know if you are familiar with MAN?There is an ongoing major development project there and might be wise to arrive there in plenty of time.
We were ok as we had a 4.5 hour drive down to MAN - so we stayed in the Clayton Hotel the night before,which meant we just walked to the terminal for our flight the next morning.
Had a laugh on the way back - we picked up our car from the car park and popped into the onsite petrol station to use their tyre inflator (one of our tyres had a slow puncture) and as we drove away from the tyre box we were accosted by the attendant who said (very animatedly) ''you can't park here'' - 'but but I have just paid to use your tyre air thingy' says I - very sensitive about parking in the petrol station LOL
