With the heavy bags it takes a little more time to get from the door to the gate, and the airport website says to be there three hours ahead of time.

I don't know where you saw you have to be at the airport three hours ahead of time. For European shorthaul flights the minimum check-in time at MAN is (for the airlines I regularly fly) 30 minutes. I usually try to check-in one hour before departure. Even for longhaul flights two hours should be more than enough.
