That said, I’ve never got the afternoon flight northbound (which is good for connections at either end) but when booking my next couple of flights I’ve noticed that to be the one that says “Only X seats left at £XX” whereas the couple of times I’ve seen it arrive into MAN in the earlier days there was hardly anyone on it.
