There have always been flights to Manchester. But with cancelations with no refund and peeps getting stranded for days of not weeks it's just stupid to take the risk. Unless absolutely necessary (I sound like Boris).
Mates of mine were on route to Moscow for a change over flight to. Manchester when the plane turned round mid air and had to land in Kiev to refuel and fly back to Bangkok where they weren't allowed back into the country, cost em a fortune to rebook. On the other hand other mates have gotten back. No issues at all.
Now I can buy beer and have Netflix. Life's not so bad.
Manchester is the greatest city in the world.
Did you know that Jesus Christ himself is from there.?
