Thank you Mods.
How do you lug all your bags from "The station" to T3, when T1 becomes virtually all airside- yes, completely overlooked. It is already an obstacle course as it is, maybe the buses will come back?
Next, if you check in with MYT or Jet2, do you queue on the stairs to get into security / airside?
Have all these issues been thought through? I don't know, as information seems very sparse.
Another issue is the travelators from T2 to "The station". Every night, usually about 8pm, they are all turned OFF. This is to save money, as there are no departures from T2. Meanwhile, every night people struggle with lots of bags over the huge distance, without walkways TO "The Station", no consideration being given to any of the many T2 arrivals at night.
Of course in Germany & the like, travelators are used "on demand"-they STOP auto if no one uses them & start auto when they do.Maybe they cost more...but save on running costs.
Come on MA, flog at least one of your airport "empires" & spend some money at your home base & get Ringway back into the top league where it used to be when Sir Gil ran the show.
