Exactly. I want to use it, I really do. I like the airport, and I want to see how the new owners have enhanced it. But I want to stay loyal to BA at the same time (for TPs and Miles), and that means electing for the longer journey to LHR.

I guess this thread serves no purpose. All it does is show to BA they can take routes away and reduce the volume of flights to the destinations they do have, and BA's status passengers who live nearby will travel further to LHR.

I will make the effort to give it a whirl the next time I need to go to MAN, but having booked 1 x GLA and 1 x EDI trips today on ba.com. the times were just so much more convenient from LHR.
