Virgin_CC is correct
Etihad are operating the A346 tomorrow and the reg is correct.
You've got to be some sort of spotter or have a professional interest in the goings on at the airport on to be here reading these posts! A rare a/c type into MAN would be of interest to quite a few people and be relevent.

ok, firstly why was my post about etihad delted, and secondly, why bother with that post skipiness.
People say they want facts on here, so I post a fact and somehow its still not good enough. I give up, its like a creche in here sometimes!

He's right you know! A340 @ MAN
I still think this sort of stuff belongs in the spotters forum. Anyone who works at the airport and is involved with the turn round will already know about it surely.

The latest money making scam....
T1 security are refusing to accept plastic bags that have not been purchased from MAN (2 for Ģ1). So, if you turn up with your existing bag, you will be refused and have to purchase a MAN version.
You just couldn't make it up...
It's only a trial at T1 at the moment.

I cant see EZY Starting LGW they would surely waste GatwickSlots on a short sector flight might be wrong or are they Buying Gatwick

What's a CSA? I feel a strongly worded letter coming on. Seriously though guys, what the Hell is going on at MAN? This would never have happened in the past as they used to treat their customers like people, not captive shoppers to be fleeced and herded.

A couple of weeks ago, a positioning crew member through T3 was made to remove all toiletries, for a 2 night stopover, from a transparent zip top bag into the postage stamp size bags that are now being sold. On protesting she was told it had to be a sealable bag (zip/seal??) and that all 'that stuff' wasn't needed!!! The bag in question has been through daily security in other airports before and since.
Talking to a more reasonable security guy I was told that the legal requirement is a transparent, re-sealable bag and nothing more. I sincerely hope someone challenges this latest travesty at MAN

According to the DFT website,passengers are expected to present their carry-on liquids in a "single,transparent,re-sealable plastic bag(about the size of a small freezer bag) which itself must not exceed 1 litre in capacity(approx 20cm x 20cm)".
So in my opinion security are out of order if they are insisting that you buy the bags from one of their vending machines as long as you conform to the DFT requirements.
Sounds like another way of Manchester Airport trying to make money out of the public.

Sorry, customer service agent, i.e. the bods in the purple shirts that man the 1st batch of security podiums that you come to. I will not be purchasing clear bags to take my liquids through, stuff that I do need on a daily basis at work, that's just wrong.

So if one passes through MAN T1 with their own plastic sealed bag with legal liquids contained WITH a printed copy both of the UK DfT regulations and whatever gumpfh MAN Airport publish on their website (am sure that will now change overnight) relating to the legal size and shape of such bags the local Security will STILL turn you away?
MAN have got to be very stupid to push ahead with this one! It is only a matter of time (one thinks of the schools easter hols coming up, for example) before they pee off so many people that the national press gets hold of this. I can just imagine the Sun newspaper headlines now!
What an incredibly stupid thing to do at a time when all airports ought to be bending over backwards to help their airlines RETAIN passenger custom. This will simply play right into the hands of LPL.
Might not appear a big deal to the MAN airport management but then, as they say, the Devil is in the detail...
