Manchester Airport ....

[RSoles]

Don't go via Leeds Bradford, it's like well Soviet, Sheremetyevo revisited...

Isn't it Leeds Bradford where they make you go through passport control, even on domestic flights?

Manchester. Ewwwww.

WHS.

Wet and cold southern tulipehole.

That's because no-one flies through Teesside any more

Well it is less an international airport and more a glorified shed. I always forget how much smaller it is than Newcastle.

I take it you've never been to Gatwick Airport, which is like a 1970s timewarp. Thirty minutes in security there is almost guaranteed

I was referring to the whole of Manchester. Fooking grim city.

Had a laugh there once.

Early morning, surrounding by tourists we were informed our flight was delayed and we'd miss the connecting flight.

"We demand a hotel"

"No, get your head down in the airport" came the answer.

Whoop whoop. We were on one of the few business class flights out of there and got what we wanted. Personal escort through customs and passport control and a chauffeur driven Merc to the hotel for our unplanned overnight stop.

Things were different then.

SYO was nowhere near as bad as SVO domestic terminal though...

To be fair they have recently improved SVO no end, I last went through in July, it was acceptable. The aeroexpress direct to Belorussky is handy too.

London City all the way!!

No f**king duty free maze.

I spent 13 hours in SVO1 thinking it can't be any worse than SVO2. Got the free bus tho!
