I've found something else to dislike about Manch Intl Blairport.
The currency police. Got sniffed by the dog after security yesterday, SLFing out after operating in(memo to self - change underwear more often). Got interviewed in the departure lounge by some Doris from the Department of Money asking to discuss my currency and asking if I'd like to go somewhere private to answer some questions. Having a total of about 50 quid on me I felt safe enough to stay where I was. Answered questions - got let off! On a serious note, it was intimidating, potentially humiliating and most certainly infuriating. My flight left late, I noticed some people boarding late. I suspect they too got the inquisition by Stalin's mates. WTF has happened to the country ? Certainly convinced me I was right to move out a few years ago. Did you lot really vote for this ?!?

"WTF has happened to the country ?"
Well, for a start we managed to get the sexist, right wing, over-sensitive maris pipers to leave the country and allow the rest of us to revel in an egalitarian utopia. :E :ok: |
Checking In at T3 How Busy
I'm on the 06:35 to LCY with VLM tomorrow morning, will an hour be sufficient to check-in & get through security etc.
On the following Tuesday, 31st I'm off to AGP on the 09:50 with WW. Taking my 4 kids. In the past from T1 only used to arrive for WW with about 1:30 as I live local, will this sill be OK or shall I make it 2 hrs. cheers |
gazza, 1 hour at T3 at that time should be fine.
For T1 late morning, 1 hour 30 should be OK, but 2 hours will be OK if that makes sense. Security can still take a long time (if that's not too sexist, right wing or over-sensitive to say so:ugh: ). |
Don't turn up at T1 for your bmibaby flight to AGP! WW operate from T3! And i'd ensure you checkin at least 2 hours before for your Malaga flight. T3 security has been hectic of late!
|
Cheers Guy's,
I know WW is from T3 just not used them since the move. On the same flight's 3 weeks later this time with my lady so will be a good practice. I live Very local so not a problem. I used to use BA from T3 to LHR & LGW when they first started self check-in & print your BC's at home. I could leave home 45 mins before the flight & walk straight-in & to the gate on to the plane. First time to LCY so looking forward to the trip:) |
I really enjoyed my LCY flight earlier this year. I found the VLM service to be excellent, especially on such a short hop. And LCY is a breeze compared to other London airports!
Enjoy your trip! |
Anyone know the schedule for the MyTravel flights to China starting in the new year?
|
LCY is a fine airport - just like T3 used to be. All on one level, parking nearby etc.
Just brace yourself for harsh braking after landing. It's only a short runway, with water all around, so the pilot leaves touchdown and braking to the last minute, in case he/she needs to go around. |

LCY smart little airport, very short runway.. Enjoyed the F50. Left Bond street tube at 13:30, changed at Bank for DLR arrived 14:10 for 14:45 return flight, which wasn't showing on board, anyway went to info desk after security to be told that it had been cancelled due to going tech (don't think so, more like lack of passengers) I'd been put on 16:00 which eventually dept runway at 16:25. Arrived Man 17:15. Incidently bumped into Capt while waiting at Station & asked why 14:45 had been cancelled, said he didn't know as he had been busy & quickly jumed on a train!!!!!!! Anyway would use VLM again. |

busz is correct.
All aircraft that land at LCY do so in the landing zone not far from the start of each runway and braking is applied as nececary. The go around height or minimums is 500ft for runway 28 and 330ft for 10 for the 146. I arrived on runway 10 in a Fokker 50 a couple of years ago and there was ample room to swing around mid runway without harsh braking. |

For my own learning, why else would he/she leave it to the last minute to throw it on the deck and whiplash all the passengers, like it's the Ark Royal? Customer Service perhaps?
