Find Cheap Flights to Manchester

Arrived safely

Itinerary was Boston to Manchester on Thomas Cook Airlines, and Manchester to Munich on Lufthansa. Computer system was down for Thomas Cook. 300 passengers checked in with hand-written boarding passes. Poor communication between airline and passengers. Delayed departure. Arrived in Manchester at 5:55am, an hour late. Misinformation in Manchester about what would happen with our checked bags. We were directed to transfers, only to find out that the hand-written bag tags were not accepted by transfers and we had to exit transfers to claim the bags. This delay caused me to miss my 7:25am connection to Munich. Better information and communication would have allowed me to make the flight. Was rebooked for 10:50am flight but at gate found out it was oversold, I had no "priority" because it was a rebooking, and my seat was given away to another passenger. I was then rebooked for 17:55 flight. I was told that my checked bag would be on it. At the gate for this later flight, I asked about my checked bag but was given no information, and the staff was not helpful in confirming my bag would be loaded. After a 12 hour layover in Manchester (should have been 2 hours), I boarded the 17:55 flight. I arrived in Munich and of course my bag did not make the flight. Effectively I lost a day on my trip, and this was a terrible experience. Flying multiple airlines on a single trip can really be awful if there is rebooking involved, as they don't work together, and neither treats you like a paying customer. I also would advise against flying Thomas Cook. Their computer system going down is inexcusable, and created a massive headache for not just me, but many passengers who missed connections.

Lucky enough to have seat with no one beside me

Delayed departure but some time made up during flight Sub standard food in comparison to outward bound flight

Gate area was cramped and a little chaotic

Comfortable seats and boarding was quick.

No air control when we got hot, the stewardess was too efficient and kept taking our drinks, you have to pay for food and teh in flight movie wasn't over by the time the flight was over so I didn't get ro see the whole movie.

Nothing... Entire experience horrible for my 17 year old.

Everything. Will never use American Airlines again

First class

The breakfast served in the route Abuja to Heathrow was very hot and tasty. The hostesses were great. Good service overall

Nothing

The crews are ok

The seats are not too comfortable

Food was a bit better than I expected. Videos kept going out. Staff were great. Plane landed well!

Because of United's failure in Pittsburgh, I was unable to make it to IAD to fly from Washington to Manchester.

old plane, no personal tv

on time

Average flight to get you where you want to go. That's it.

Rude air hostess. Very poor customer relations. Very poor.

Drinks trolley too slow, considering passengers on most European flights are paying for their drinks. Quick drinks trolley with the food trolley coming along behind would be much better, and a lot more happy passengers, One and a half hours,approx., from take-off when the food and drinks trolley, from the front, reached Row 10. Not good Willie!

You should board by seat numbers on European flights. Aisles too narrow on 320's (and equivalent), with passengers putting quite large carry-on luggage in the overhead lockers and slowing everything down plus discomfort to passengers already seated. Otherwise a very pleasant an enjoyable flight. when the doors closed.

The service in Lester b Pearson airport was unprofessional and sub standard by your employee Manija Anwarzada and her shift workers. They did not help me when I missed my flight to Pittsburgh because of our late arrival from Frankfurt. She and the others were not there to assist and help stranded passengers. In fact a couple of the staff were on cell phones and not helping passengers. She finally told us we had to go downstairs to the hall since her counter was closing. After traveling from Algiers to Frankfurt then on to Canada it was a terrible way to end the day. These emoyess made a very long day even longer. I will never fly Air Canada again. I will say once I got through customs there were more professional people who did at least get me a hotel room. Your employee has left a very bad taste in my mouth for Air Canada!

Not much

We paid cash for business class seats on this flight and they were terrible seats. They were NOT business class, they did not recline and there was no leg room. Nothing offered to drink upon boarding. All they did was take economy class seats, three wide, and put a thing on the middle seat to hold drinks. It was terrible and we will avoid Lufthansa in the future, and we travel a lot.

It wasn't clear that we would need to pay to check our luggage, especially since every international flight I have ever been on allows you a checked bag at no cost. When we got to the airport it cost us $130 each to check our bag which we were told it would have been around $50 if we had done it online ahead of time (if we knew). $130 per bag is excessive for checked luggage and we were extremely frustrated and disappointed. I like to fly Virgin when I can due to comfort but that experience left much to be desired.

Never seen an international flight charges checked in luggage $130 US dollars a piece

Boarding was easy. clean plane, crew was very friendly. I was very concerned though, when we banked left and did a complete circle in the air. An explanation from the captain would have been terrific. I made sure I was the last one to leave the plane and asked him about it when I saw him at the exit. He told me what happened but I would have liked to know while it was happening. Besides that, the coke and pretzels were divine. :)

coffee was horrible

This is a buckle and fine airline. I went to check in online the day before my flight and added a checked bag for each passenger. The website did not work well and it ended up booking 2 bags each and charging me for two each. When I arrived at the airport they said I had not checked on online and had to pay extra for checking in at the airport. I asked for a manager who said there was no record of me going online. That was odd because I booked and paid for my bags online the previous day while I was checking in.they said I had to write a letter to get back my extra baggage fees I was charged in error. I doubt I will ever see that money again.

Our flight out was delayed by a couple of hours and the return flight was delayed at least an hour. It was clear skies, no tusre why. Also, after having paid to check our bag, the bag didn't arrive at our destination because it was removed from the plane, along with 26 others. We didn't get it back for 5 days, just in time for our holiday to be over.

I like the food and the service plus the entertainment on the Telvision

Nice food, wonderful entertainment.

Old fashioned seat, no usb to charge my phone, battery went ;off and couldn't make a call to my family to assure them of a half way safe trip while stopping over for almost 6 hours in Ataturk Intl. Airport, Turkey.

It got cancelled

Can elled

Nothing stands out. I am overwhelmed by the mediocrity.

Nothing stands out. This was a commuter flight, which means no leg room, no space, and no frills.

Everything

great flight

Departure was posted as "on time" even though the plane arrived 5 minutes before boarding time and had to be emptied, cleaned and prepared for us. Then we were told there was a delay while a technical problem was repaired. To cut a long story short were were 3.5 hours late after they repaired the anti-skid system. Surely they must have known about this problem soon after landing if not sooner so why couldn't they have organised things better? A replacement plane maybe? I was once in a similar situation with EasyJet in Stansted after we had boarded the plane. They managed to get everyone off and on a new plane in less than an hour! Maybe they could teach American Airlines something?

Hard working flight crew trying to make the best of a miserable situation Rosylin, Lori and Cassie

Everything, Horrible food,

The flight on time and comfort

Nothing

Not much turbulent. Smooth.

I did not get the meal of my choice, also as I tried to check in at home, the system did not give me much choices to respond to, instead the system blocked me entirely from early check in and it wasn't enough time to make calls. I think check in should be made available at least 48-72hrs ahead not just 24hrs. Also walking from terminal to terminal in Frankfurt is way too far, it seems about 2miles + of walk.

friendly staff top Service top Inflight Product ( Seat, IFEN)

Crew were good

Entertainment system doesn't have a touch screen like other airlines. They give you ear but buds instead of head phones. Alright they gave us headphones for our young son you had to put the foam covers on yourself and they kept coming off. Not a very good selection of movies. Good is bland and not very good options.

Crew was very accommodating

I was delayed twice and have arrived without any luggage. All my business wear and presentation materials are in that bag. I'm devastated.

Good amount of space and friendly crew

A one hour delay, limited communication and lots of confusion at the terminal.
