I personally don't think LHR is that bad from my experiences
I think Shed was indeed relating to his own experiences, which indeed are similar to my own. So I'd have to be pretty desperate to rely on a LHR shuttle.
To add insult to injury MAN pax usually pay a hefty premium to be first in line for the chop. I recently checked a MAN-LHR-SIN , HKG-LHR-MAN J class ticket with BA, it was almost £1,000 cheaper to originate the same trip with BA from AMS rather than MAN.
Everyone has a choice / personal preference. I'd hub anywhere from MAN rather than LHR. ZRH or MUC are my choices eastbound & ATL westbound.
Of course many people are now enjoying the DXB / AUH / DOH experiences. With almost more flights there than LHR anyway, the virtual demise of a BMI shuttle service, the LHR hub is becoming less and less relevant to Manchester anyway.
I kind of think this subject has been done to death & maybe any mention of LHR should be obliterated now from the Manchster thread ?
