Yes Dublin has strength going West compared to MAN, but on the flip side, MAN has the strength going east and still getting stronger. So, it’s all swings and roundabouts really.

LAX yes Dublin are very strong heading west, but you cannot deny the fact that we have sustain direct flights to places such as IAH and SEA, of which would've seemed obsurred just over a decade ago. I can also see a lot of opportunities for Manchester looking west. Two possible destinations in my opinion would be the resumption of Washington and maybe somewhere like San Jose and San Diego, two very popular destinations, especially in the summer months. So I cannot see why Man could not sustain 3 or 4 flights a week to those destinations a week.

Taken overall though, MAN's US offering is a leap on from where it was 5 years ago.

Qatar to upgrade the morning and afternoon flights to A359 from 28th October, evening flight remains B788.
From 18th Sept, the Morning flight also goes daily, meaning service will be 18 weekly overall.
confirmed and bookable on all platforms.

Between the aircraft type change and additional flights I make that a 22% increase in seats for Qatar on the route. With EK's 3x daily A380, Oman also now using their latest kit, Cathay upgrading to A350-1000, and Jet Airways about to start to India there really is an incredible amount of capacity and choice heading East from MAN nowadays compared to just a few years ago

Very interesting selection of easyjet, I personally thought they might have looked to utilise areas from where monarch left a gaping hole such as direct flights to mainland Croatia.
I guess only time will tell as to whether or not easyjet look to further expand their diversification of different European destinations from where they currently are.
Additionally, I believe that Volos is a wise and quite out of the box route to be starting up, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

More negative customer experiences as car windows smashed in T1 multi storey

Also trouble at mill with black cab taxi drivers who are boycotting all terminals

while it wasn’t served at the time of Monarch going under, I believe Monarch did use to serve Volos from Manchester. There will be more routes from Easyjet, this will just be one of them as it’s been reported at that end of the route rather than this end.

We arrived back around 23.00 on Sunday night (and then having to negotiate a queue for passport control which snaked all the way out of the area, and both ways around the T1 arrivals corridor) we were told it'd be 'at least an hour' before Arrow Cars could provide a taxi.
It's laughably poor.

I departed via T3 yesterday (Monday), arrived at 0615 and through security within 5 minutes, no delays what so ever.
i was expecting the worst but received a very nice surprise, unfortunately that only lasted a short while as my Ryanair flight to AGP was then delayed by nearly 5 hours. Oh well,

The A350 will give customers a much more contemporary and futuristic experience, with on-board LED lighting and a broad variety of channels to choose from, it will be truly luxurious.

Signs that EasyJet are still planning their apparent big expansion at MAN that was postponed this summer?

If you're travelling on business class, the Cirrus seats provide a lot more legroom conpared to the 787, so in turn you feel a lot more comfortable and relaxed rather than on a 788 or for that matter 789.
