Was very impressed with the airport on Sunday 31st July. Very quick check in and transfer through security. Not quite so impressed in the early hours of this morning taking 40 minutes to get through passport control at 1:05am! Generally impressed with Manchester, even though we didn't get the 787 on...
Jump to postI understand that there are issues with planes, as with any other vehicle. I would love to know if the same 787 was on the same flight 10 days later and if it was a coincidence that it was tec for for both flights.
Jump to postThat could explain why we didn't get it on the 31st. The captain told us last night that our 767 had been flown up from Gatwick especially to cover our flight
Jump to postHi everyone, Was just wondering if anyone can help out with a question I have. We've just flown with Thomson between MAN and LCA.

Glad no one was hurt though. Think a replacement was flown in this morning
Seems a bit odd that they had to evacuate on the stand. One report I read said they aborted a landing and circled for a while before coming into land again, quite heavily. Said there were fire engines waiting for them on the runway. If they evacuated on the stand, that doesn't explain why the runway...
