Manchester starts 31st March, ABZ and EDI starts 'April 2013'. The flights should be on sale in the next week

So, for those of us on the MAN inaugural, which will now be the first in ?|

Good news indeed. Living in the north I generally have to fly down to the London airports to connect.
One thought though, isn't Ryanair trying to take over Aer Lingus? Would that be the end of the promised inflight refreshment ! !

EDI allegedly leaves 06.40, MAN leaves 06.50 - I would guess the MAN flight unless they try and coordinate them for one big party ):

Edited to add : wonder if the flight times would allow me to do EDI-LHR, LHR-MAN, MAN-LHR and LHR-EDI all on the 31st March

Great, thanks so we might be 10 mins behind but the shorter distance should make it up! More flights = more fun to be had!

Short haul services will now be based at T2 - http://www.businesstraveller.com/news/n ... e,-aer-lin
