The exact opposite. Most of the people on the flight will have been
connecting to another, with their bags checked through. That's the
main purpose of the Manchester flights.

Not really

Yes, really. BA even produced stats which proved it.

come on Roland,.

You know better than to make sweeping claims like that without any
proof

Willie Walsh, 26th June 2008:

"... explained that on Heathrow flights to and from Manchester, 75% of
passengers were transferring. On services to and from Leeds/Bradford,
Newcastle and Tees-side, the proportion was between 55% and 60%.
On flights to and from Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, transfer
traffic accounted for nearly half of all passengers."

ps. Does that mean you are on my side in that other place where there's
a disagreement over whether "no cite = you lose" or not?
