I know MAN want to change who's in what terminal but with their plans I really don't see how it would work for Terminal 2. This will become charter and the holiday terminal but with this being MAN's biggest market how are all the planes going to fit into terminal 2 at peak times when out of all the terminals it has the least amount of stands (15). This would mean it would only be able to fit say Thomas Cook and Thomson in which would leave monarch and Jet2 and the other less major ones to Terminal 3? With the plans for Terminal 1 to become the scheduled international terminal which also has the largest amount of stands in my eyes it seems a waste. It all just seems rather confusing on my behalf but knowing me I have probably got something wrong.

Just booked some J class flights to Asia ex MAN, but on my dates EY, SQ, EK were pretty pricey. QR not bad, but the best value fares for me were LH so it's MUC /FRA for me-sadly no A380 on my routes either. If EK/SQ/EY want to fill their premium big machines, they need to be a bit more competitive. Very surprised that the EK A380 J class was the most expensive by a mile, so maybe they are filling it anyway.

MAN Delays?
Noticed on MAN's website a lot of flights have been delayed departing for locations today. Some by quite a few hours. Anyone know the reason for this? Apologies if I've missed something newsworthy today, I've been working most of the day and haven't even had chance to catch the news.

Is the EK system going mad?
21st, 22nd and 23rd January 2011 have no J seats available on MAN-DXB at all.
F isn't available from 20th until 25th or 15th January 2011.
Y class is available throughout.
Just checked on Amadeus which matches the EK system.

They are looking at changing the winter to an A346 to coincide with the lounge opening.
Put it this way, no point opening a FIRST and business lounge at MAN if there are no F pax to utilise it

It isn't the 'F' making me laugh. It's the A340-600 on that route.

TURIN, what is there to laugh about?
They have sent in the A346 before, as well as the A345. They have a sponsorship with MUFC as well as advertising in Abu Dhabi specifically at premium packages with MAN flights.
Add to the mix that an A346 will be spare in the system when one gets swapped with an A333 at LHR, and the fact there are only 24 seats more than an A332, I fail to see what your issue is.
The press release states that the new lounge will be for pearl AND diamond class, no point telling them of that if they are not going to be able to use it.

No, me neither.
Seems a waste of four engines thats all.
What with EK changing to a Big Bus and now EY (aledgedly) to a Bigish Bus, there's going to be some rapid retraining going on at MAN.

Sorry MUFC_fan, must try harder to hit the C button instead of the U button next time.
You've obviously never flown DXB-DOH on QR...
I take it that it is operated by an A340.

I have no personal issue.

AMS to MAN, I'm looking at prices for 1st July, am flying China-HKG then HKG-AMS, all booked, looked at price for AMS-MAN with KLM and they want £450 one way! 
That seems excessive, guess I'll have to go to Liverpool for £40 with Easyjet. How can charging that much attract passengers to MAN?
or am I looking in the wrong place?
