T2 is not remotely a world class terminal. it is bizarre to suggest otherwise.

when on one of these fights and after arriving at t1, are the passengers put straight on the aircraft or in to the pier to await boarding?

During the period 27 July 2026 to 15 November 2026 the South Atlantic airbridge which is operated by AirTanker with one of the Voyager A330s will move to East Midlands due to work on the runway at RAF Brize Norton. The airbridge operates twice weekly currently with route RAF Brize Norton->RAF...

there is a spreadsheet on the EK fleet config here (not by me) https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BG3LJC4E1neW0oARs96xl7hErPawDN4c12D1ZfabzPY/edit?gid=219730242#gid=219730242 and the aerolopa seat maps here https://www.aerolopa.com/ek

the email dates from when they were using the temporary bus drop off points between october and april. now the permanent domestic drop off point is being used so the wording isn't really correct. and other than one of the nightstoppers, BA parks on the normal contact gates and not away from...

there is no outbound passport control in the UK so if you are carry on only the only point a passport gets checked is on boarding at the gate. also Ireland is in a common travel area with the UK, so you can actually fly to Ireland without a passport - although some airlines like FR require you...

A gates so the furthest pier. usually the odd ones on the north side, so A5/7/9/11

ah, i see what you mean now. thanks for the clarification - there was also an in-line advert in your post as well which made the flow a bit disjointed.

so this is even more unclear, the airside inter terminal bus does exist? but just for eligible airlines? - albeit we have no idea who they are but FR are the only T3 one so unless they are the whole thing is pointless. btw, the fact that you need to contact the airport CEO for an answer to...

Thank you. If not, then that page should be clearer and explicitly state that there is no airside inter-terminal connection route. Any inter-terminal connections require you to exit landside on arrival (thro passport control if applicable), and make your way to the onward terminal.

i think just to clarify , its information on the MAN website, not my information. I did see the page you posted a screenshot of, but for an airport that has gone to great efforts to try and pretend to be a connection hub with staffed airside connection points, the lack of information on that...

are the airside shuttles between terminals no more then? https://mediacentre.manchesterairport.co.uk/how-to-use-manchester-airports-flight-transfer-centre/

i am not sure IB has actually said anything as such to confirm either way - but obviously you would expect flights to be loaded for October onwards if they were intending to operate the route so it does seem like the route finishes on 30 September.

i think this assume the gs shown on FR24 is completely accurate and glitch free? is it possible there was in reality no slowing down during the take off roll?

yes that loophole does exist with that system - probably one of the reasons no other airport does it that way
