MAN plumbing the depts again, changed the security set up.... again..... fast track provided by the airline is now a separate channel, which feeds into lane 4, which is also used by every Man & His Dog, so a 5 minute wait, meanwhile there is a ‘Premuim channel, pre paid & there was literally nobody using it this a.m, an entire belt staffed with nothing to do ...... you couldn’t make it up. :mad:

That should put it at least above AMS, where several moving walkways and some escalators are broken at the moment.

https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31824108-post104.html And as a postscript, Saturday saw me sailing up the escalator to T3 check in. The walkways within T1 may well be working too: I'm being generous because experience and habit mean I don't bother with them. Fingers have clearly been pulled out: may they long remain that way, |

You mean the walkway going towards 2x and 3x gates? I don’t think it has worked in years.

Oh Allah... what a dump of an airport. Once per year is enough for me... here’s to December 2020!
Anyone up North I can really recommend using GLA on LH over MAN especially with the Lomond Lounge, which is a really nice facility. |
Every cloud has a silver lining if you look hard enough, today the ‘Aspire’ lounge was clean & almost empty, similarly my flight from MAN- MUC
|
Aspire is due to re-open at MAN 05 DEC. I believe Escape around the same time.
Yes, I know they're crap, but its the only lounge to get a bevvie on a LH trip for the time being. Did I forget to mention that Helga's €9 billy coffers are currently not paying for this lounge? :D Luckily, PP is in hand! |
For the late LX there is no lounge access, and not even possible to use Escape with PP (probably would be denied anyway), though it is open, it becomes an exclusive
My partner asked "why are the ceilings so low", its just a dump darling, breathe easy and soon we will be gone All shoes off, no seats to sit down, begrudgingly will fetch the plastic socks My hair straighteners out of carry on and irons (a pax actually had an iron in a carry on :D), as many trays as possible, was not allowed to put laptop in the same tray as my jacket, cannot cope with two liquids bags in the same tray for two pax... They hate pax, that's why the lounges are shut, they exist for them, not as a service to you Just a DUMP. DUMP, DUMP, DUMP |

Going to depart MAN in November for a companion fare in F (excited as hell!).
I guess it makes no difference and you still get the Aspire? No chance to get the privair or at least 1903? (which is a good lounge tbh, thank you AF/KL for being good to me!) I managed to route MAN-FRA-HKG-BKK-SIN-ZRH-MAN with decent layover durations so there will be much lounging around. I'm sure the experience at the Manchester Aspire will be hard to beat. |

It's certainly bad, but at least it has bathrooms in the lounge and a more quiet area to the left of the entrance. As long as one does not want to eat or drink anything there, it is usually OK to wait for departure. I totally agree on the long way to the LH gates, though.
And then there are the early evening closing hours, 18.30, which left me with 3 additional hours in the common areas, where, for a hefty price, I was able to eat and drink well |
