What you will probably find is that where both AA and BA have an aircraft going to the same destination within an hour or so of each other, then BA will operate it given that they have the larger aircraft at their disposal and so be able to get a theoretical full aircraft than 2 aircraft that may be just over half full. Thus AA would have a "free" slot to start a new service.

No different to how DL has used AF slots to expand at LHR. AF still get benefit from this through their joint venture, so BA may well let AA use some slots in order to enhance the overall LHR operation. Effectively AA would be operating routes on BA's behalf - like PIT-CDG operated by DL which without AF would not be in the DL network

Escape Lounge

As I understand it, the lounge is intended for the general public who are willing to pay to 'escape' the crowds. I don't think it was ever intended to be a 'business' lounge for any airline.

Hard lines Dave - I heard they had sausage butties for all!! I've seen some pics on the facebook site and have to say it does look quite impressive (credit where credit is due) and at the price they are currently pushing it at, it's got to be a no-brainer compared to Servisair's bowl of nuts and a fridge of drinks.
Well done MAN.

Hi Guys

Well just wanted to ask a really quick question if i could.
I am coming to MAN next fri as flying to Varadero with TCX and as this is a long flight has MAN airport got any smoking area at all ?
I know EMA does with an outside area once through departures and with them being owned MAG i wondered if MAN airport has something similiar ?
Any help is most appreciated

Thankyou.

Bugger! so i missed out on sausage sarnies as well..........

My colleague has got a lot of explaining to do when she gets back off holiday!

Mike16, i've not been through MAN for a while, but as far as i am aware, absolutely NOWHERE TO SMOKE once you go through security. I'm sure someone will either confirm this, or set me straight on the issue. If it is still the case, may i suggest some nicotine gum, and plenty of it........... lol

T1 will eventually have a smoking area on top of C-pier (where the etihad and emirates aircraft park).

Not sure if its open or will be open soon.

There is a smoking area in T1 - head to the end of the main concourse and up the escalator to the main food court where Giraffe is located. It's signposted from there. Boots sell Nicorette if it's lashin it down outside

Cool

If Emirates and Etihad are parked on top of C pier, there won't be much room for the smokers!

mufc4evr - if it helps the flight does not, or has not, operated and I don't think they even have A310's !

I think its an error for 2 reasons:

UL dont have the A310 anymore
Typing UL2581 into google shows it as a bmi codeshare on the BD581

Would be nice to think they did serve here on their own metal however.
