Why isn't there a McDonalds or a Pret a Manger at MAN? It's a disgrace!
And as for the staff canteen....I saw one of the staff lean over he bacon and sausages a few mornings ago and a big blob of snot fell from his nose on to the cooked food! Yummy!
Now that's a Manchester happening!

Agreed, Vuelo....
The staff canteen is a disgrace. Its bad enough that the egg is that horrible powdered stuff, but they also make sure it is served with a horrible crusty finish at the edged too. Mushrooms are tinned and mingin'... I could go on.
I remember on a very ols episode of Airport, Egon Ronay went to the staff canteen in LHR and slammed the place, saying he wouldn't serve the food to a dog.... I'd love to see him pop into 'Delicious' for breakfast one morning!!

air atlanta, travel city direct
interesting to read all passengers for these flights will be checking in at the station. not being familiar with T1, will this be clearing a 'useful' check-in area for someone else to move into (ie. star alliance or something??)

Don't forget the "new" checkins at T2 ARRIVALS....coupled with NO escalator/One lift at the "Station"/No SkyLinks due to "polishing the floor [taken EIGHT weeks, and counting]
The only "Value for Money" in the "Staff Caff" are the bacon/sausage butties. EVERYTHING else is cheaper in Boots for Petes sake

CX to HKG is still in the pipeline.
The CX freight boss is handling prep. at MAN., and it is well advanced
However, the russians are demanding inordinate sums for the traffic rights Moscow - Manchester.
Looks like that option is now on the back burner.
A thrice weekly NON-STOP is being urgently looked into, BUT lack of aircraft means you won't be seeing Cathay pax service until October at the earliest.

fingers crossed for cathay then. i think MAplc are working their socks off to get them back.
What do people see the future of transatlantic...boston to go year round this year maybe? washington to get canx?? I always feel manchesters global services are never advertised enough, and suffer as a consequence.

That staff canteen is a hole, and the opening hours are somewhat curious for a place that is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The staff stink and so does the 'food' (I use that term in its loosest sense, like my bowels after I once had some sandwiches from there!)
