It will be lovely to see it working again, I'm feeling all nostalgic. I wonder if 'All the Time in the World' will be brought back to life?

Does slightly make up for the lack or showers at Manchester which I am afraid to report are unlikely to be repaired until BA moves to T2 in 2 years time.
Where are you getting the info regarding BA moving to T2 at MAN?

I love "All the Time in the World" and hopefully it will get fixed or even it's technology updated to not only fix it but keep it more reliable for the future.

It was working yesterday when I was at T5. It’s pretty impressive

I have never seen it - I just looked it up and it looks amazing!

Now that is some wow factor

It's only going to be working (for free) until Monday.

Similarish to Buy on Board after that it will be Buy and View but using Avios only.

All you will have to do is swipe your Executive Club Card on a card reader about to be installed on the wall at the top of the escalators.

1 minutes = 250 Avios
3 minutes = 750 Avios

It wasn't working last night around 7pm. I stood for a while watching in vain, although I did note that the discs were in a different position than the configuration I was so used to.

I'm gutted

I was chatting with the Lounge Manager and she mentioned this. She mentioned that T3 will be primarily for the LLCs.

Nothing on the Manchester airport website but it does state that

  • The expansion and reconfiguring of Terminal 2 to become the airport’s primary terminal building

Thanks for that. I’ve been keeping an eye on what is happening there. I detest T3 so any move has to be better, and it makes sense to leave the rabble behind in T3. Let’s hope for a nice new lounge, especially if it brings all OW airlines together.

My next visit is Monday. Fingers crossed. Anyone asked one of the lounge staff whether it was just a test, broken again or will operate in the future?

Yes agreed, such a shame they can't keep this artwork working. I like it very much. It is beautiful, but when it is working I find it somehow exciting and hypnotic at the same time.
