1)Train Eurostar to London & then on to Manchester. But the best scenario there is ~7-12:15 total time, with 45 minutes transfer between St Pancras to Euston (seems doable if no delays...I could do the later next train arriving 1:15). This doesn't give me much time to dump luggage at nearby hotel and then take train up to Heaton Park though.

2) Fly CDG-MAN 11-12 (seems risky bc later start)
3) Fly CDG-BHX 9-930 then train to MAN Piccadilly
4) Fly CDG-LHR 8-9 then train to Man Piccadilly (too risky? not worth the bother?)

Thoughts? Back up alternatives? What have I not thought of?
Have you checked to see if there are morning flights to MAN on easyJet from CDG or ORY? Or on Ryanair to MAN from BVA? (It looks like there's an early morning airport bus from La Defense to BVA.)

Edited to add: It looks like easyJet flights for July, 2025, will go on sale a few days from now.
