I agree with Angela, this place is not just for visitors to the city!…read more It's a great place to find out what's happening in the city. From theatre listings to events to new openings to stuff to do in the kids holidays...you'll find tons of great tips here. Also loads of the leaflets have money off coupons in them too so you might end up picking up a bargain too! It's great for gifts too as they have some great souvenirs and Mancunian memorabilia and the best range of postcards in the city! Worth a look if you know people who've left Manchester, send them a postcard and tell them what you're missing! Obviously a place to head to if you're new to the city too...the staff are really helpful.

I told the guy who worked there that I was a Smiths fan and wanted to know where all the sites or places of importance were since my tour guide was at work. He quickly wrote down all of the best spots for me and let me charge my phone. Everyone there was very helpful, they had free maps of the city and also had this cool digital table map thing. Out of all the cities I visited in the UK the only souvenirs that I purchased were from Manchester. I love my 'I heart MCR' and 'on the sixth day..' mug.

If I could chose a super power it would be the ability to fly. This place is perfect for those who…read morelove the idea of flying. The purpose-built Viewing Park offers unparallelled views of Manchester Airports runways, as well as an aviation shop, snack bars, picnic areas and a growing number of fascinating exhibits from the heritage of powered flight. I mean what other place gives you the chance to see and get on board the only Concorde in the world. You can access the flight deck; a DC-10 converted to create a genuine 'on-board' feel while never leaving the ground. It really is a sight... and hard to describe. No wonder it is one of north West's most popular outdoor attractions. You find yourself with some box seats for watching aircraft take off and land. Trust me you will not be disappointed, with around 600 aircraft movements each day, there will always be something for you to see. There are three raised viewing mounds giving you a clear 180-degree view over the airfield. So bring that camera if you turn up!!!!!! For the Concorde I suggest you pre-book as it is very popular, and will set you back £13. Which I suppose if you love this kind of thing you would probably fork out

I love the Manchester Aviation Viewing Park, If you love anything to do with Aviation then this is…read morea great place to view the many Aircraft which land and take off from the Manchester Airport runway. You can view the Aircraft from the three raised platforms. Its also home to the Concorde in its own hangar. It also has a coffee shop. Parking is around £3 an hour.

To say that this country park is so close to some pretty grotty council estates, the M60 and…read moreStockport town centre, it is a really peaceful place to spend a few hours. Check out the website www.reddishvale.moonfruit.com/ for some amazing pictures of the flora and fauna found in the park including bats, rabbits, hedgehogs, swans, kingfishers, thistles and mushrooms. Within the park there are two lakes where it is possible to go fishing and feed the ducks, the River Tame, some streams and (towards the Brinnington edge of the park on the other side of the viaduct) some manmade art in the form of a tree which is completely covered in beer cans! Wear your walking boots as it can get quite boggy in certain areas of the park. If you're cycling then be prepared to push your bike for certain parts of the trails, unless you've got calves of steel. The vistors centre itself isn't much more than a hut, but you can look at the map (if you're anything like me then you'll need it) and grab a can of coke. The whole country park is free to access, but there is a little farm just up the road from the visitor's centre where you can pay a couple of quid to stroke the ponies, and a bit more to ride them - this and the country park would make a great day out for kids.

A great country walk with plenty of variety depending whether you want a gentle walk, taking the…read moredog out, riding or a bit more strenuous walking and hiking this park has it all. A river runs right through the middle of this park but there are plenty of bridges to allow you to criss-cross the park easily. There Is a good visitors centre there for Tea and ice-creams plus toilets. Parking can be a bit difficult sometimes as there is not a lot of parking space. A farm is also 100 yards away from the visitors centre that has tours and a café on site. There is always regular events going on at this site so always plenty to see and do.

There is a pay and display car park at one side of the gardens, however as it is centrally located you can easily walk to it from most hotels and the town centre. For tourists new to the area, there is a Tourist Information Centre which will provide you with lots of information about Buxton and the surrounding Peak District area. Hundred of events are held within the gardens over the year, mainly located in the Octagon Hall. These included farmers markets and fetes etc. during my visit a few weekends ago there was an Art based festival taking place where clothing, photographs, jewellery, furniture and other art works were being displayed and some offered for sale. For those searching for a little more fun suitable for the younger generations, there is a large park fully equipped with swings and slides as well as a miniature train which offers rides around one section of the park. If you're wanting to stop for a short refreshment break there are plenty of places to pick from, including outside and inside cafes serving both hot and cold food as well as ice creams. On my next trip to Buxton I will definitely be heading back here as there was plenty of things I didn't get to see.

AWFUL & VERY BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE…read more I have been trying to book a flight since yesterday with no luck because they had a problem with VISA Card so I couldn't pay with my only card. I called customer service and they told me I could book my flight during office hours (9-6), I called in the morning, and the customer service was awful and very un respectful, being rude and not giving any solutions. "book it from the website men" , one of their comment, and I am a lady. So, if on the website it says you can book through the phone, how can be possible nobody on the customer service couldn't help me? I called 3 times, the people are behind the phone, are not nice or trying to help. Dont book with them. bad Karma, bad style....
