I heard rumors and seen plans to an updated T1 at man, so its more like T2 where you checkin then go into depatures, ie getting rid of the big hall after checkin and having secuirty just after the ramp down to the hall.
But then the depature lougue would become massive, as during the summer there is hardly any where to sit, never mind the huge queues at secuirty.
All that said they are only plans, but there are looking into changing MAN T1 in the near furture, they are spending alot of money at man with taxi ways being re laied, T1 arrvals, and new FEP's going in.
Never know we might even see new air bridges (cross fingers for that one) all going well in my view, but things take time
