As regrads landing/handling fees at Manchester International, my recollection is that I paid someting like £72 last summer for an AA5, so rather more than the £30ish suggested by the earlier poster. And I was warned that departure in the "busy period" (after 4pm) would push it up to the £200 range!
That apart, ATC were absolutely brill - it was my first visit and I felt well prepared - but they were great on both arrival and departure. Helpfull, friendly, efficient.
Would I go again? Only if there were compelling business/family reasons - and certainly not in the busy periods!
