Very glad to hear the connection went smoothly, and that you had a good experience at MAN!

As I said in my original post, it is a world apart from LHR, the only real negatives for me being the lower number of connections generally, and the increasing use of RJ's by BA on the flights they operate out of MAN. Oneworld partners like Aer Lingus, Finnair and Iberia tend to use full size aircraft on their routes to DUB, ARN, HEL, BCN and MAD.
