That's true - BLK had ease of use MAN uses could only dream about, and people where prepared to pay. Not popping at MAN, I like the airport - But BLK had NO walking.
Blackpool security was like watching grass grow given the size of the flights, and the luggage gets offloaded quicker at Manchester.
Granted
no walking within the terminal, but I'd prefer to walk in a terminal than drag my cases across a field in the pouring rain. Also no decent eating facilities, or shops, or anything else. My son dropped us off and picked us up this year, because although they offered 'free' parking it's only up to 15 days. After that it was £10 a day to park on a field.
It's shame it's closed, and people are losing their jobs, but BB didn't seem to have much interest in it so was it ever going to go anywhere?
