I've been only one in MAN a number of times usually on a sat pm when there can be a delay between flights. I have to say I always find that sad as I think back around 5 years ago when it was a mini-Heathrow to MAN with different check in zones for First, Club and Traveller. I'm interested in what people's view is do you love it or hate it when its empty?

Personally I like a few people around otherwise its a bit too weird and conscious of all staff either disappearing completely or all trying to serve you.
