I have used Blackpool on a number of occassions for the convenience of
flying from a local airport , saving wasted travel time to Manchester.
Whilst I enjoy using the "local facility" , I find that the personnel on site appear to be at a loss at times to be able to deal with the travelling public
in the manner and with the attitude that the traveller expects.
I would suggest this is part of the "learning curve" for the Blackpool operation , it is no longer a "sleepy hollow" , it is attempting to operate as
a "real" airport , the transition will take some time.
Just to encounter the chaotic state of affairs with regard to parking and driving through the one way traffic system when two jets are in at once is
comical. The "arrivals tent" serves its purpose but please put some heating in it guys - it's warmer on the ramp at 21.00 at night and those baggage handling techniques are practically brutal when pax stand in arrivals watching their precious suitcases heading for the conveyor belt !!
Anyway stick with it and they'll probably get there in the end !
