loading a380 by bus and a single stair.
 

Ek 18 today remote stand at manchester. A fleet of busses and one forward door open. Slow is not the word.

how did they board F?

:td:

Teleport from the lounge shower to the F shower.

:D

They carried them on a chair each whilst throwing rose petals on the ground in front of them.

it really annoys me at MAN when they hold F pax until last! :mad:

separate bridge but they are always slow at boarding.

I wonder why it was a remote stand, every time I've boarded they've used the very last stand, the one on the end of the pier??

Buses + Stairs is standard operating procedure at JED. Brutal.

Avoided Saudi so far fortunately

I think they use that stand for other flights also. If the plane on there gets delayed, the A380 will need to go remote. I bet EK weren't very pleased.

All the passengers, YC&F were bussed out together, chaos, and took forever, it seems that the bridge was broken, bodes well for the twice daily 380 service being trialled this week.

I did suggest to the CC that perhaps it was a lady Captain, who had a spot of bother parking, it went down well with the chap, his female colleague less so !

I'm already dreading the thought of having to switch to MAN from April 2014. I have been using LGW and rarely LHR to connect to EK for the last few years.

With flybe stopping its gatwick flights, MAN is the only option. MAN is always jinxed for me. Either my luggage arrives at the other end broken, flight delayed or even cancelled .

Out of my 5-6 flights out of MAN in the last few years, I think only one was OK :(

The lounge is nice though :rolleyes:


The walk to the gate (if they use one) is miles!
