I "had" to fly to Gatwick [and back] for a course.....Three colleagues were also travelling with me, all booked by the same "agency"....there was a difference of £70 for the same trip[s]...
Scotty, perhaps you can shed
some light on this matter....
OOI, the transit through T3 was fairly swift, albeit crowded [08.30 dep] and painless. The arrival, [again] was painless...apart from the walk from Gate 48, but we only had to wait 2-3 mins for our bags...
However, the comparison between the two [Major] Airports, IMMHO, is
not very favourable to Manch I am afraid to say......
