I was also looking at flights from MAN-CDG, and there you can see the benefit to the consumer of the Air France/Flybe tie up. Before that happened you could get a round trip for £100 or less; now (if you want to travel on one of the first 2 flights of the day) you need £140-£190 to get out, and £70-£100 to get back! I had a look at a range of dates in Sept/Oct and they all told the same story.
