Surely some of the huge North American market in the London area must be drawing people from the Northwest or are they all going via Ams - though the volume on that route might suggest otherwise?
Surely there is demand for a 3 - 5 times a week direct to SFO? See so many passengers who are going that way too.

Something else I noticed on Saturday, at the end of 23R the holding point was not in use, work seemed to had taken place there, is that related to the A380?
A friend of mine is going to Heraklion in Crete tomorrow with Monarch, unsure of the departure time, but anyone know which A/C it will be?

I`m coming to MAN on Wednesday to see the Emirates A380
Does anybody know where the best place to be to see it land will be
Was thinking either on Level 13 or at the aviation viewing park ?????
Also I will be there between 11am and 4pm - Anybody know if I will be likely to catch sight of any easyJet aircraft during that time??
Thanks

Yes you will see at least 4 EZY arrivals and 4 departures in that time period. Please be advised that the AVP (or whatever its current name), is expecting large crowds on Wednesday.

I went to the airport hotel today, i was surprised to see an md11,(world aireays)
was it operating on a charter flight for someone, and why did the fire engines follow it down the runway ?

World Airways MD-11 Emergency
Hi there,
the reason for the "un frequent" World Airways MD-11 landing today was because the pilots saw smoke it the cockpit and made a full emergency landing, descending vey steeply so they could get on the ground ASAP. This was the reason for the Fire engines aswell
Hope this helped you out
thanks, planenutter

Did the LS 757 miss it's slot? If A/C are waiting for their slot, can't they stay at the gate?
Some airports also charge for parking on the stand from chocks on to chocks off. However Manchester's aircraft parking charges seem to be levied from touchdown to take-off.
The work between JA and J has been extended until end Sept - was supposed be mid August. Don't know why

IB26UK, if you are going to the AVP by car, you need to pre-book or you will not get in. also, if you are going into the airport car park to watch for that length of time, dont forget to re-mortgage your house, as car parking charges are astronimical..............

Thank you for the advice but I`m coming by train
Got a return ticket for £20 from Stafford via Piccadilly
Is level 13 likely to be very busy tomorrow day time aswell ??
Dont suppose we would be allowed to stand up on the top floor of the car park in T3 - Where the hire cars are... ??
I will be at MAN between 10am and 4pm - I asked earlier about seeing any easyJet planes, Does anybody know where they are likely to have come in from??

If they're talking about flying to Dubai than 150000 year to date would be about right, nearly 300000 flying between the 2 points, either way Granada are way out with the figures.
