may have had a niche and if I lived in BLK the idea of being able to escape the

back no matter how much you diss the other nearby airports and compare them to
your former local aerodrome.
I never have once said there is a chance Blackpool will re-open. quite the opposite if you have read my posts. I don't think there is a chance.
I first mentioned the long wait at MAN for baggage long before BLK was even in any known danger of closing.
My sole point in mentioning yesterday at MAN. was just a comparison showing how easy BLK WAS compared to MAN .
Might surprise you to know, I live nearer to MAN than BLK, and about the same distance as Liverpool.
I don't live in Blackpool so no need to escape - you see I am a neutral who knew a god thing, while it was there.
BTW - I did mention in lots of posts that Blackpool council did not help and YES the airport should not have been sold to BB. I never have said otherwise.
One last point - Being Blackpool/Manchester and Liverpool are all bar a few miles the same distance from my town. I have no "local aerodrome." Not even "former" - So that probably gives me more right to compare.
