I have spent the weekend fretting like a stray for the future of my sausage baguettes. Can someone in the know confirm that the Deli is indeed to close? And could someone confirm when it's replacement will open?

Bigmuk play nice now, as you well know the sausage bagutte is very important to us over in T1.
Now re the 380 question I recieved this from a most reliable source the other day:
Reference A380 at Manchester, the date being quoted by Airbus at Filton and
Chester is June 10th. A380 will be on static in the morning at Filton Families Day, and will then open their flying display early in the afternoon, before flying to Chester for a Families Day flying display there.
Following display at Chester, A380 will fly to Manchester for gate compatability trials / operational evaluation. It's not yet clear if A380 will night stop at MAN, or return to Toulouse later in the day.
Watch this space.!!
Now leave the baguttes.

Heard today that the syaff canteen at T1 will indeed close, that's official. It;s replacement will be, among other things, a staff entrance to airside to T1 and T3.....makes sense I suppose.

Ethiad
Flight EY313 from Abu Dhabi is showing on the arrivals board as 'on time' for a 06.20 arrival according to the Manchester Airport website.
Is this a mistake? Ethiad aren't even taking bookings yet.

Talking to the staff at Millies Cookies today in T1, they confirmed that O'Briens is going to become a Starbucks...not Subway as previously posted. They didnt seem to impressed by it either!

BA have announced that it is to withdraw its Manchester to Oslo route from the 4th March.
That's the 11th route withdrawn in just over a year
Any guesses which one willl be next?
Belfast, IOM, Hanover???
Is Ryanair's Liverpool-Torp route to blame?

Just wish they would go away and let someone else have a go at doing something useful with the slots.
BTW: Torp maybe in Norway but calling it 'Oslo' is Trade Description Act territory

WW move to T3 on 26/03/2006 and BD move there on 01/06/2006.
The new BD transfer desk was begun this week, located opposite he BA transfer desk opposite gate 52 in the arrivals area, it'll certainly mean a lot less number of transfers heading through T1 transfers for BD.

Even Jet2 dropped the FCO and the NCE why shud BA fly routes that make no profit?
Soon manchester will just be a Luton/Liverpool.

They are both summer only routes & were flown 2005 & this year too.
The BA CON E145 would be unlikely to compete.
The BA FCO route used to be always full when operated by BAR B733s, as most of the Euro routes were.
Oslo is no surprise, it boarded next to my flt a few weeks ago with three pax.
SAS have probably corneered the Scandi market, as has KLM, AFR, DLH, HLX & ABB have done with the Dutch, French & german markets.

Spoke with CX official today who said the Russians are creating 'no end of problems for us' with regards to the new Manchester to Hongkong service. He seemed very sceptical that it;ll go ahead, which if true is a real shame.
