unfortunately manchester is expanding, if you like it or not. just look around manchester city centre, and its hard not to miss it with all them cranes with that new skyscraper going up and a couple more in the pipe line. and manchester airport will always be the bigger and busiest airport in the north and i cant really see that changing.ANd nobody can deny that manchester did an excellent job for the commonwealth games. manchester is more recognised globally than weres that place oh yes birmingham and for corrie to be sad, yep thats why they are the number one soap in britain.
lets get back on the topic of planes please.

When you start your new thread on second cities Bozzy, you may want to add a bit of punctuation, capital letters and grammar. It helps the rest of us understand your point of view.

My last post (hopefully) on the topic of city size. As someone has pointed out, Trafford is in Manchester The reason why Manchester appears so small in terms of population is that they are based on the Manchester City Council boundaries, which is a relatively small area, and is like the city of London as someone again mentioned.
I live in Manchester and love the city but i am no Manc. I actually come from Barnsley which is just up the road from Sheffield and no way is it larger than Manchester.
Whatever, BHX is also losing out from BA's ignorance towards the regions. MAN is a fantastic airport from my point of view and peoples perceptions are actually greater of it. People come into work and are genuinely shocked that there isn't a direct flight to Rio, Tokyo or wherever they may need to get to such is that perception. I am not sayin MAN could sustain such services necassarily but it goes to show what people think operates out of there. Little do they know that increasingly it's becoming difficult to get to certain EUROPEAN destinations.
My point is though that i have been a travel agent for two years and so feel qualified to comment on demand for certain routes or services and believe BA are making a mistake.

Turin, thankyou for pointing out my mistakes!!!!
I only written one post about the cities battle, so why should i open up a new thread.
Thats great news with ethihad (have i spelt that write) Also i was at Manchester airport yesterday and seen two gb aircraft, i though they only had one up for the moment.
Has Emirates stopped using the A330 and started using the 777. Why is this.

Re Emirates
They have been using a B777 on the lunchtime flight since June if I remember rightly and will be upgrading to a B777-300 from end of October whilst the evening service is a high density A330
The change to a B777 is a larger number of seats due excellent loads
It will be interesting to see what effect Etihad has on Emirates loads but I`m sure the business is there, so good luck to them both as they along with Qatar have a quality product

I got a feeling it will continue the AGP with LGW crew and a/c....unfortunately. That would probably have been our shortest day Bozzy. lol
G I B, a 773 would be excellent, love that aircraft.
Slightly off topic, going LHR-MIA on 3rd Septemeber, and really want an aircraft with V:Port IFE. I don\'t suppose anyone has any idea about how many 744\'s are fitted with this?

Were's agp. i dont understand the abreviations yet?
who are you flying with to miami.
And with Emirates, i do to love the 777-300, cant wait until they operate that. i dont really rate emirates. i dont think their is anything special about them, the seats are rock solid and very uncomfy. ive heard that qatar is much better.
Has anybody flown with qatar or etihad?

Its the new in flight entertainment system on Virgin. You can stop and start films and programmes when you want and the screen is bigger etc. Check some pics of it on airliners.
