weirdly it all ran exactly to timetable but by about the the fourth time of lugging my bag on and off something I was getting a bit pished off. The walk was the worst, I thought I'd never find the check in desk! The bus just dropped off at the front of a building rather than the train coming to a 'proper' arrival area. There was a bus stop which said 'terminal 3 bus' and I thought, can't think I'll be at terminal 3, surely that will be for the little airlines etc? How wrong I bloody well was........up stairs, across travelators, up escalators, down lifts, through terminal 1 ground floor check in desks, up to terminal 1 check in desks, a wail of frustration at a woman on a baggage counter, back down a lift, outside (again) across a road, into terminal 3, up another lift and then a hike to desks 37-39 which were - it seemed - checking the whole world and his wife in on behalf of Flybe!

If there had been a sign with terminals and airlines where the bus stopped I would have got the bus rather than feeling like I might never make it out of the airport again!

poor you:o

i would have been mad

I take it you didn't go through Manchester Airport Railway Station then. I only ask because I worked on the new third platform there.

Sounds like a nightmare journey BB, but still very quick considering how long it would take driving..

Afternoon :wave:

Just got back home after picking the kids up from the rents. I had a lovely time, everyone was so nice, I didn't end up TOO steaming drunk, and I escaped the hangover from hell by going running first thing.

Can't wait till Leeds! :j
