It's not a case of the 'shell suits' turning up hours before a flight and business travellers being right at the last minute. I am a business traveller for my job as well as working at MAN, and often end up at airports a long time due to delays, transfers or simply because business concluded much earlier than the next available flight. That being the case, I like terminals with a lot of shops and restaurants, it gives me something to do and look at whilst I wait, allows me to pick up books, presents or whatever I choose. The airport isn't 'fleecing' me, if I don't want something I don't buy it. I'll take shops over empty boring space any time. If MAN is to become better in that respect brilliant, and then in the summer I might be able to walk more than 20 feet through T2 without a passenger asking me 'Are these the only places to buy food from?' whilst looking at the 300 foot long queue at Burger king and the place next door.
