Some Questions - Flying from Manchester

[Lola]

We’ve used the Clayton for parking and overnight stays. Shuttle takes 5 mins to the terminals and very easy.

Regarding your overnight stuff, one tip a lot of Dibbers do is wear old underwear/t-shirts, etc to the airport the night before and just throw them away in the morning. Likewise with lotions and potions just save a few nearly empty bottles (enough for one night) of toiletries a couple of weeks before you travel and just throw them away in the morning.

Thanks for the tips... I’ll have a chat with hubby about it, it sounds great but I’m not sure in reality whether I could cope knowing I wouldn’t have access to all of my belongings for that nights. Great if you’re not like me.. but it’s good for thought!

We have booked into the Raddison Blu, we like the convenience of the location to the terminal. The only downside for us is the choice of food in the restaurant (not much and very expensive) and just pizzas offered in the bar area (at least this was the case when we visited in September last year).

We always stay at Radisson Blu with their parking package as well. We use Twilight Check In for our main bags and take an overnight bag which we leave in the car, we arrange with the hotel that we keep the car overnight.
As we are not keen on Radisson's food we either drive or take a taxi round to the Romper Inn for a great meal and treat all of this as part of the holiday.
