What a super passenger experience will be had on the A.380, That is until it arrives at Manchester !
Now the experience just gets better!!!
On landing on runway 05L, it will have to roll all the way to the end of the runway to vacate at J1 to be met by a follow-me. It will then be escorted along taxiway J and re-enter the runway via link H. It will then proceed to backtrack the runway until link BD where it will vacate (Still with a follow-me) onto taxiway B and then eventually onto stand 12 I'd imagine. However at the moment stand 62 is the only A.380 stand available.
After this the pax will be greeted by either a fleet of top-notch buses, or a very long walk down an travalator-less pier to the immigration hall with its up-hill and down-dale route over the Int. Deps.
When it's time to depart off runway 23R it will taxi to holding point D1 where it will with the aid of a follow-me again, execute a left turn onto the runway and backtrack (dodging the holes ) to exit H where it will join Juliett to the holding point at J1.
Meanwhile whilst all this is going on, the rest of the airport comes to a standstill
Ringway fit for the 21st century? - Ermmmm --- maybe the early 20th with Fred Karno in total control
A lesson on how not to impress people I think?
