Well the next stage would be pier 3...there are soon to be (I think) pre ground works for this phase.
Initially the whole of pier 2 was due to be constructed before pier 3, but I heard recently that pier 3 would be constructed in full before the second phase of pier2.
I would be surprised at this turn of events given the funds were all allocated prior...unless I’m not aware of something...

The original plan was, and I'm ready to be corrected, Pier 3 then 2. There was an OAN issued recently that referred to Ground Tests for Pier 2 - I'll post it on here when I get home. This seems to indicate that Pier 2 May come first, but it's only my interpretation of the wording. Why do tests for Pier 2 before Pier 3?

I have been watching these for weeks this must possibly be the most expensive and outrageous prices for flights ex MAN this is for 2 people, its £700 quid with BA from LGW.
Do Virgin realisticly expect that any one would pay these prices for what is at the most a 1500 quid for 2 flight.
Hope someone else steps in to get rid of this cartel sharpish.

For those prices booking at this late on, I'd seriously consider indirect options or take the drive to LGW with an overnight stop.

If you have a look, via ABZ is quite cheap on VS. Don't think they have loaded the ex-BE flights properly.

3 Upper seats left on that flight, which they'll overbook by 5.
6 full fare seats left in Economy which they're showing availability of 9; so you might want to retract your gripe about VS in an act of generous contrition and humility...

I booked MAN - BGI return in March for Jan 2020, in Premium Economy. We have since also committed to an expensive Florida holiday next year too. In an effort to reduce total costs we called VS last week wanting to chnge seats to BGI to economy expecting a saving, however instead of a considerable saving they actually wanted to charge us an extra £900 for the pleasure of having worse seats ! They openly admitted that TCX's demise was the reason and seats to BGI for the foreseable future would be at a premium, hence worth more.

I read that with great excitment. With the BEE purchase and the sad TCX demise it didnt take a brain surgeon to figure VS's plans. I do worry a little for some other regional BEE bases though...

Under what circumstances.? Absolute RIP off regardless of how many seats left they were still over 4 grand 3 weeks ago. As you can see from other comments VS are royally taking the P. No matter how many long haul they lay on unopposed in the future, charge these prices and no one will be going. It will hurt business and people will fly on alternatives, cannot see MAN hierarchy being too chuffed when the footfall doesn't appear at Duty Free.
