What to do in Manchester during October? Well 2.8million people decided to leave through Manchester Airport for sunnier climes - and the top destination? Dubai.
The Top 10 most popular destinations as published by the Manchester Airports Group (MAG) for their flagship base were as follows:
1) Dubai
2) Antalya
3) Amsterdam
4) Dublin
5) Alicante
6) Tenerife
7) Palma
8) Dalaman
9) Malaga
10) Paris
So are more people from Manchester holidaying in Dubai instead of Turkiye or the Canaries? Not exactly. Positions 2-10 on the above list are classed as Origin and Destination routes (O&D) where that is the final destination.
Dubai on the other hand is the mega hub for Emirates’ worldwide network so whilst some will be staying for the Autumn sunshine, many will be in transit to one of their other 158 destinations across 85 countries.
Emirates operates 3x daily A380s between Manchester and Dubai using the high density 615 seat configuration aircraft- 58 comfy seats upstairs and 557 regular ones. So that’s 1,845 seats available per day - or an impressive 57,195 seats throughout October. Which is nearly as many as the London Stadium - with arguably better entertainment.
Which top 10 destination would you choose from the above list?
