WincoDinco The newly painted BA Openskies 757 has just been spotted on final at Manchester. She's not a bad looker.
As an aside thought, with the BA mass withdrawal of themselves and in-house handling from anything beyond the M25, how does that position them for the odd occassion they need to mass divert? Will it now be the case of "any port in a storm?"

MLA was always going to operate thrice weekly in the Winter. No decision as yet as to whether a 3rd aircraft will be based at MAN in the Winter although I would have to edge with caution and say next March. No decision also on the long PFO/TFS routes. The axe of these, especially PFO, would allow expansion through shorter sectors whilst still using two aircraft.
Anyone doubting U2's expansion plans however, should take a look at the new crew room. This is over twice the size of GT's whilst the old GT crew room is made into a crew rest area and the training room made into a multitude of offices.

Think you'll find that as in previous years majority of liverpool fans will be ferried though LPL on charters not MAN if of course Liverpoolfc get through. Don't think the police would appreciate LFC and MUFC sharing the same airport!

Inevitably however, like in 2005 and 2007, fans will go via where ever it necessary. So if they use LH via FRA/MUC or KL via AMS etc then you will see some LFC fans at MAN. It will be interesting anyway.

As you can probably guess I will be off to the Russian capital next month and I was there last night. A truly memorable experience! Having been a season ticket holder for many years it was one of the best atmospheres I have experienced!
I will be travelling from MAN but not with the mass charters! I wonder what BD will do to stop them flying to Moscow from MAN - they have the rights!
Just looking for flights now and I don't think my bank manager will be very happy!

Sparkysam - the Polish routes were abruptly stopped by Centralwings as they are in real trouble at the moment and took drastic measures just in order to stay alive. They were the only carrier offering Polish routes from MAN when they cancelled them all. For what its worth I think other European routes were scrapped by them at the same time too.
Not sure if any of the routes will get taken up in a hurry due to current difficulties carriers are experiencing and the fact that lots of Polish workers are heading home to Poland to rebuild their lives there..... but we shall see in time.

Ahhh JonF,
I could go on all night about how wrong your post is but it would bore me and you as much as watching chelsea!
No wonder all the Londoners prefer the team at the Theatre of Dreams, they play exciting football!
Anyway, I'm all booked and ready for my date with destiny! Lets hope the team come back from Russia with love and a big trophy to go with it!
Can't wait to see all those a/c lined up in MAN and MOW! Anybody got any info yet on what will be flying? Guessing Corsair will be in with their 747s as per usual. GSM, AEU, EXS, BMI and MON will surely be involved.
Personally I would love to have travelled on the charter a/c as the atmosphere onboard is superb and the service by the GB airlines is top notch! But I found a cheaper deal and I can stay in the city for three nights!
What a month ahead! I hope everyone's goes as well as mine is planned!
