Just wish some of you guys could see what is regarded as a "decent" airport outside your limited experiences in Europe. I travel extensively in Asia and many Chinese cities, some of which you have probably never heard of, far outshine what Mancunians put up with on a daily basis.....in my honest opinion, MAN is really third world and will probably never catch up Asia as far as airport construction and efficiency are concerned. God knows what those coming off Cathay, Singapore and Hainan think of MAN.
Seems to me that far too many on this forum spend far too much time making excuses for and accepting a third class product at MAN. I will be through T3 next week and am certainly not looking forward to the experience based on past experiences in the last 18 months.
Oh, and BTW, I am originally from Cheshire and worked in the NW for many years and have seen MAN's growth over the years.
