All Names Taken
You don't know me so please do not insult me or try to belittle me.
When I travel British Airways long haul I always travel in Club, never First, never World Traveller Plus and never World Traveller.
To put it into perspective for you.
Depart from my home at 06:45 to Lime Street 20 mins, allow 10 mins in case taxi is late, then 07:16 train to Manchester Airport arriving 08:22, 10 minute walk to Terminal 3, through security and fly on BA1389 to Heathrow arriving Terminal 5 at 11:05. Total journey time 4 Hours 20 minutes, or
Depart from my home at 07:00 to Liverpool Airport, through security and fly on EI193 arriving Dublin at 09:10 (but always early normally 08:50), transfer onto BA845 arriving Heathrow at 11:45.
So only a difference of 25 minutes and a much more pleasant experience plus Club Europe from Dublin to Heathrow at a much cheaper fare than from Manchester.
Manchester Airport survives on low cost, low yield services just as much as Liverpool does. That is why Airlines think that MAN is a lower yield proposition than LHR.
