Manx2 is cheaper anyway. £29.99 v £24 (I think it is now) but a nicer ride on the Flybe. There will also be cabin crew on the route for the first time in a long time, if ever!
Will at least have an in flight service (don't know about a toilet but if so it is 1-0 to BE!
)
But seriously, Manx2 are in a good position as they are cheaper and have less seats to fill.
