Have to agree MANflyer. Arrived last night into MAN on the evening EK flight, amongst the first Y class pax off thanks to steps and a bus at the rear door, zipped through immigration iris scan, then had to wait an hour for bags.
The problem seems to be the teminal one baggage carousels, which have a (very clever) switch which prevents bags being delivered onto the carousel if the space is already occupied. Unfortunately the system setting is too crude, and a gap of about three yards is needed to deliver one bag, resulting in the carousel rapidly becoming "full", with about 20 bags on board. Pax started to offload unclaimed bags themselves, which improved things but it still took forever. And this is with a two-thirds empty 777 - a full A380 will be fun.
EK groundstaff were present, but were more concerned with locating the crew bags than helping pax.
Incidentally, how long do EK crew layover in MAN? They seem to need more luggage than I need for two weeks in India.
