Hello everyone from the rather busy Escape lounge at Manchester Airport T3....a fantastic check in experience and it seems the invitations for the lounges have now reached Manchester....previously your Au card and boarding pass was sufficient.

The soup of the day is celeriac with the usual selection of sandwiches, crisps, cheese, fruit and friendly staff with very effective wifi.

Can't believe today's flight will be my 18th LR flight since the launch on 31 March.... :D

Oh and great views from the lounge....

Pleased to read that after 18 trips you have managed to get Manchester organised!
Looking forward to my first trip on Little Red next Wednesday, also first time in the T3 lounge at Manchester. Is the soup on all day, I am on the early flight, or do they do a proper breakfast? :?

Really? That must have started this week then - certainly didn't need one on Sunday.

Oops, forgot - I'm not speaking to you, cookie thief :P

I am sure you will enjoy the lounge....it's open from 5am.....breakfast is croissants, Danish pastries, toast, fruit, cereals and yoghurts, porridge and bacon and sausage sandwiches.

Soup is available from 11am and it changes frequently.

Oh no......the looks we all got on inaugural day were enough to only try it once..... :0

Another good flight, load reasonable at 53....no holding which makes a nice change and nice and early at the gate.
