Hi Everyone - long time viewer but new poster here.
On the subject of Flybe - Flybe transfers at MAN, I recently had this dubious pleasure when travelling AMS-MAN-IOM. So off the flight from AMS and following the signs we end up in a small, deserted transfer lounge where we have to wait for a bus. After 10 minutes wait we notice a sign saying that we have to pick up a telephone and call for a bus. After another 10 minutes the bus arrives and takes us to a dedicated security area.
It would have been faster simply to exit at the main border control and re-enter through the main security area. And the bus driver admitted as much.
Anyway, despite remaining air-side the whole time we are subject to a further - very rigorous - security check. I happen to mention to the chap giving me the rub down that we'd been searched at Amsterdam not 90 minutes earlier. "Humph", he said, "but we do things properly here".
Implying that in Amsterdam they don't?
