I tell people at work to check in at 'the station' and they also look at me as tho i'm mad. If they are told by the travel agent or if they read the information on the website they would know to get dropped off at the station.

IF the Taxi drivers/Family fiends are told that their pax are travelling by TravelCity/Air Atlanta then on every approach road to every terminal says "ALL TC/AA CHECK IN AT THE STATION" 
It ain't rocket science

I'm sorry, check in at the station is really not a big deal. Most of the fat chavs using 5A and EUK flights need the exercise anyway! Makes room for all the fast food c*ap they'll be eating when they et to Orlando!

M&S is open on Saturdays, while the coffee shop seems to open and close on a random basis totally unrelated to the clock or calendar.
In any case, the T1 garage/supermarket/soft porn emporium is literally a couple of hundred yards away and it's open 24/7.

With the markup that they slap on their prices I'm not surprised.
Try comparing the prices in there with those in other M+S food outlets and you'll see what I mean.

Just read on another forum site that BA are rumoured to be converting it's BACX operation from MAN and BHX to a low cost operation and named BA Red. Anyone heard anything about this. Seems a bit odd to me especially as they, at MAN atleast, becoming a 50 seat operation.

Only heard about it through that thread, although this rumour seems to be doing the rounds with BACX staff. At first I thought it was a mad idea, but if you consider how flybe have changed and expanded, maybe it's not.

I have heard it has been postponed for a few months.sounds like a BackpackersXpress situation to me! Remember their promises and fancy website? (minus the human remains element!!)
Heard that Qatar are going to a daily schedule. Anyone confirm or deny?
