Your best bet is the new terminal 2.
But there is nowhere to sleep inside the terminals and sll yhe hotels are full of Afghan refugees.

The nearby airport hotels are relatively expensive and the taxi fee is a staggering 35 quid! I've checked on the possibility of sleeping at the airport and there is no problem to kip down in a seat inside terminal 2. If I'm unable to sleep, then I can sleep on the plane.

I bought an old copy of 'Lost World of the Kalahari' for some reading material....

Edit: As an example of silly prices, today I bought 4 mince pies for 1.25 pounds (price is ok) and then the shop tried to charge me 25p to put them in a small paper bag!!

There's a distinct possibility Joe is talking complete , for sure.

He likes to ladle on racist tropes whenever possible.

You can get cheap hotels around Manchester Piccadilly around 30 odd quid a night on booking.com

So the hotels of Manchester aren't full of Afghan refugees, it seems.

And it's no problem to kip a few hours at the airport.

Maybe it's best to just assume that the opposite of what Chitty posts is true.

Thanks - I had already checked this website

@Malmomike77, I'm sure there are 30 quid hotels around Manchester Piccadilly, but that is not Manchester Airport. I would have to take an early morning taxi from Piccadilly to the airport (before the trains start service), and no doubt that taxi cost would be more than the 35 quid from an airport hotel to the airport! A few hours in terminal 2 suits me fine!

^ OK, understood

Of course it is.

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China

Don't be silly.

Reckon he's been round both trying to get a date.

The Holiday Inn and Radisson have been fully occupied since the fall of Kabul 2 years ago with Afghanis loyal to the UK.

The families there are waiting for rehousing around the country.

No racist intent Cryall, just a fact.

^ You forgot the cheap cocktails at Etihad Duty Free

Oh, so a couple of airport hotels then. Because the tories can’t get anything done properly.

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves? Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here? Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?
Why don't you drink wine and eat cheese, and catch some rays, you know.
Oh I forgot you're in smog city

Says the poster who swallows Daily Mail negativity whole.

Happy to be here/home.

Went back to NZ for six weeks to finalise my previous life there, a few last-minute/day stresses but now that's all behind me.

Last few years I've been commuting for work 3-6mth contracts. No more.

What joy culling my contacts list from 171 to 19 (I'm sure I can do better) and shutting down my self-employment/contracting online presence, and leaving a message on my work sim 'I'm no longer available for contracting; if this isn't work related, please email me' - without providing my new email address.

The kid's phone/internet bill arrived yesterday and was quite impressive, to say the least.

Impressive enough for herself and Edith to have to toddle off to the service provider to see what happened.

Apparently there were some 'in-app purchases' made over the last few months.

Kid denied everything.

Then the assistant said she can check the phone to see the details.





And on and on.

Turns out she's been averaging 500-1000 baht a day buying Fluffy Friends Houses, Robux, and whatever the fudge Zems are.

^ Top man.



Good to see ya back, Prags.

Don't worry, Ant flounced to Australia and only pops in from time to time to abuse and insult posters in the Dog House.

Beautiful girls you have there. Must be proud.
