To balance out transport etc to the airport. Saturday May12th. caught the train at my local station, (Glossop) into Piccadilly arrived on platform 2 as I alighted on to the platform Trans Pennine to the airport was pulling into platform 3.
On arriving at the airport on to the overhead walkway all the moving walkways working,(Yes I know its unusual) Into T3 about 15:15 straight through security, no waiting, slight delay on flight due to fog first thing in the morning,
Made up delay on the flight.
Return from PMI used the new BA service on the 19th.May, arrived back about 2 pm. 5 minute delay in passport, 8 minutes wait for the train into Manchester, just caught my train to Glossop with about 1 minute to spare.
SEE SOMETIMES EVERYTHING DOES WORK ACCORDING TO PLAN.
From earlier post by LAX he was not sure where this Saturday flight originated from, the answer is LCY. Load about 50%, but it was its first flight back to Manchester, and certainly a lot better than the low cost airlines.
