i agree,
i dont know why manchester doesnt push for more 'through' routes, ie like saudia already operates RYD-GVA-MAN-GVA-RYD, ok its only getting on average 100px per flight, but you know what i mean.
Looks at Qantas for instance, im sure they could come up from LHR and operate a LHR-MAN-SYD service, same as Virgin, they could do a LHR-MAN-SFO routing......
i think it could work.....
