Speedy through T1
Travelled through T1 at Manchester on 4 September and, having heard about the long queues etc was very pleasantly surprised at the speed of getting through. Had already checked in online so just used bag drop, then there was no queue at all going through security at 10:30am - perhaps it is the quietest time of the day. Haven't used T1 for some years, usually go from T2 and was very impressed with the cleanliness and quality of the terminal and shops etc. The only problem was the boarding next to the Emirates A380 - 600 plus people in a small area and the tannoy system wasn't working. It was chaotic really. Thought I might end up on Emirates by mistake but no such luck, had to put up with Thomas Cook (but that's another story)
