Obviously.

I take it that it is operated by an A340.
Sorry, I was a bit sarcastic there!

They used to. Now they are using aircraft much more suited: Boeing 777-200LR

AMS to MAN, I'm looking at prices for 1st July, am flying China-HKG then HKG-AMS, all booked, looked at price for AMS-MAN with KLM and they want £450 one way! That seems excessive, guess I'll have to go to Liverpool for £40 with Easyjet. How can charging that much attract passengers to MAN?
It's unfortunately what is known as a monopoly I'm afraid...

Try AMS-LPL, you get half the price but still very expensive, that is because there is another carrier present, ie) easyJet.

Try AMS-LHR and it halves again! Probably because there are even MORE airlines present.
