Yeah I flew from MAN on 4/6/09 to SFB and was quite surprised at the whole redesign of T1. We stayed over the night before and went into the airport to get something to eat on the night but found the area I was thinking of (just before Passport Control with the escalators to take you up to the large viewing window where there was a pub) was inaccessible to non-passengers now. Basically only a Greggs in arrivals area to choose from now!
Still, looked very clean and new, just not too much viewing area now from inside the terminal!
