BACsuperVC10. Incorrigible Liverpool cheerleader - check the LPL thread. I wondered when you'd be along to talk down MAN. You never miss the opportunity ... either here or on similar forums.
If you allow 5 hours to pass through MAN, be sure to bring enough money to pay for four hours at the refreshment outlets airside.
BTW, security is operating normally at Manchester as well. My next flight out is next Wednesday, back Friday. I'll let you know.
