Thanks to the lounge debacle I haven't flown from Manchester for 3 weeks.

This morning the photo booths were in operation, slowing down entry to security as they failed to work, and causing a very long queue at gate 141 while the single photo checker processed people.

New policy in place on this route too, bags without a label must be put under your seat to make way for people that insist on varying their wardrobe with them.

All in all a much worse experience than just a month ago, it feels more and more like easyjet every day, just with a zero on the end of the price.

A shame virgin dont do code shares on the euston trains.
