I only used to fly from Liverpool (being in North Manchester) because it was often a quicker experience in the airport - before take-off and after landing - but that doesn't seem the same anymore - I'm not MAN basher or LPL basher - but I just don't see the same issues at MAN that once made me travel LPL. If anything, it's slowed down a bit at LPL based on the last time I flied from there which was with KL about a month ago.
