The one thing that’s bugging me about this is the fact they haven’t replaced the signs to the new black on white look that T2 has now. Also I feel like while the floors and gates look much nicer now, a bit more could have been done with the ceilings. For example give the centre part of the roof...
Thanks very much for your detailed report!
The only question I have is do you have any photos of of how legacy baggage claim looks? The main reason I ask this is because it sounds like the only difference since I travelled through T2 in May last year is belt 4 being closed off. When I...
I took a walk around all the terminals a couple of days ago to see if anything has changed, here’s what I found.
In Terminal 3 it looks like the old spar is going to be replaced by Sainsbury’s with some planning papers stuck up on the hoardings indicating this. Also if you go up to the old check...
In some ways, I kind of hope they reconsider the current segregation setup in Pier C once T1 closes. I know it wouldn’t match the overall style of T2, but a lot of airports abroad use a system where arriving passengers pass through part of the departures area before heading to arrivals, and it...
Just saw this scene on flight radar of a TAP and TUI both using the dual taxiway. After this the TUI went down taxiway L to get to the runway. It seems the dual taxiway is now in use all the way up to stand 68-69!
CONTINUATION OF TRIP REPORT:
I landed back in Manchester at about 9:30 last night where we were taxied onto stand 7. However as some of you may know in Manchester last night, the weather was terrible so that meant it was a mad dash down the stairs and onto Pier B in the middle of pouring rain...
Hopefully they go all out and replace them with jet bridges like the ones on piers 1 and 2. And hopefully they would replace the jet bridges on stands 301-308 if they ever plan to get refurbished.
I can only hope pier C is going to be used for easyJet and not other not budget airlines like SAS...
Ahh! I couldn’t remember what gate it was so I wasn’t exactly paying attention to 27! It seems from a video i filmed however that 27 didn’t really look very refurbished for some reason. And the jet bridge definitely didn’t look like it had been refurbished/cleaned as shown 😂
The glass tunnels...
Travelled through T1 yesterday on Easyjet to Hamburg. When I first arrived at the airport I checked in at the Departures B area. I don’t really see why they had to move easyJet downstairs when they could have just put Ryanair down there since B was vacant until a few months ago.
I then went...
In a perfect universe what Manchester would have probably done is completely rebuild Pier B to replicate Pier 1 at T2. Pier C would be knocked down and replaced by Piers C and 4. Also the original control tower block removed and all exterior walls of T1/3 replaced to make the outside actually...
Does this mean that all of legacy baggage claim are going to be for domestic flights or is this just carousel 1? Also is Legacy baggage reclaim planned to be refurbished to match the look and feel of carousels 6-12?
Where will all the airlines check in after all the terminal moves happen? I’m pretty sure Emirates will have Zone A and EasyJet will have C but where will all the others go? Pretty sure there’s not enough room for all other airlines (E.G SAS, Icelandair, BA) will all be able to fit in just Zone B!
