Which UK airports have you flown from/to?

Which UK airports have you ever used?

(I could only fit the 30 most-used into the poll. Obviously).

Liverpool's my favourite airport. I managed to get off the plane, through passport control and pick up my suitcase within 5 minutes last time.

Birmingham's a nice airport because of the monorail.

I really dislike Heathrow

if you could choose your first flight to anywhere right now, where would it be?

edit: also if splish becomes a BA pilot does that mean we all get free flights to the destination of our choice?

Technically, I've flown into pretty much every UK airport, on Google Earth Flight Simulator, including an airport I invented in Manchester called "Manchester Alan Turing Airport"
