Even domestic to domestic is a no-no. I had a domestic connection via MAN recently and ground staff in IOM refused to check it through because they said there's no baggage connections in MAN atm.

Ah we’ll that’s contrary to what the Loganair rep told us a couple of weeks ago. Guess it’s too much to ask for everyone to be on the same page.

This was only a week ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbnuts Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) Pre covid I was checked through to Bangkok also incuding Manchester. Staff took me down a route so despite the fact arrived at a different Terminal to what I was departing from it wasnt a issue. Can't remember fully but think it was through transfer route. Had all boarding passes etc from Ronaldsway . This was Flybe though for Etihad . Previously same but Emirates Edited May 31, 2022 by Numbnuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Loganair website Connections If you are connecting onto another flight, and are issued with transit boarding cards, your luggage will be checked through to your final destination.

Roger Mexico Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Manchester Airport is in such chaos at the moment that anyone sensible working for an airline is not going to promise anything that their ground-handlers might not be able to do.

Through Heathrow or BHX yes. Not through Manchester. FFS, I’m dealing with this every day. Stick to banking. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty sure that the reason that flight could not land in IOM was due to visibility, although easyJet's statement refers to wind, so they can't even get their facts right. They also didn't comment on why the MAN-IOM flight operated, on schedule, while this lady and her group, were sitting on the ground in Manchester. They generally seem to be in a state of meltdown, right now, although, to be fair, they have managed to operate all the scheduled IOM flights this week. That said, I'd be sweating if I was on the Gatwick tonight. Already over and hour late. 😱 ETA - they now swapped the planned aircraft, and tonight's Gatwick is now back on schedule! Fair play to them for doing that. Edited June 2, 2022 by Nellie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
