Hi Maikel
Very very nice set!
But are you sure it was the sixt of May? I was also there on the sixt of May and I saw the A6-EDH A380 instead of the A6-EDI? Or where there multiple A380 flights from Emirates? I was there from 10:30 and begun on the famous hill.

A6-EDH

I definitely have to get a pint at that place in the back sometime. What a view.

[rutger330]

really amazing shots there lovely line up shots and lovely Air malta shot

[Maikel van der Heijden]

@Thermal: That's the Manchester Airport Hotel
@Chris: Stupid me I messed up the topic name it's the 5th, omg.

[Nozem]

it's the the airport hotel
been there 3 times now simple and cheap.not the best food and old fashioned rooms but hey who cares.

will be there again this year,waiting for the new footbal season (need the home playing dates) to visit Man united.

also Delta with the A330 and an Emirates 330

greetings Ton

[Maikel van der Heijden]

Emi is regular in the morning. 3 daily flights in the morning with a A330 at 12:30 an A380 and in the evening a 777.
Delta normally operates 767's don't know about this one.

How's the sound isolation of the Airport Hotel? From this angle it rather looks like a "hardcore-spotter-place-to-stay" to me. You may not get that much sleep during the night, right?

[Maikel van der Heijden]

During the night are not that much movements, some dash 8's but that's it.

[Nozem]

hehehe depends on how much beer you had
when you sleep you sleep.....
and its a nice wake-up call in the morning.
from the 3 times been there 2 times had the room that faces the runway and had no problems,only when a jet departs I woke up for a minute and then fall asleep again.
as said its not that bizzy in the night only some movements, and it starts around 7 in the morning so nice time to get up and go downstairs for the english breakfast at 7.30 am.
for the photographers around us the morning is not the best spot to be in the hotel as the sun is against you.so you have to leave the hotel and go or to the terminal/parking garage or the other side of the airport(left-side can be walked and to go the right site you need a car)
also in the morning they uses 2 runways( well all the 3 times I've been there) the one at the hotel for the arrivals and the one far away for the departures.

here's my trip report of the last time....

greetings Ton
