FlyBe flight from Southampton, £83
Stayed in Travellodge on Blackfriars Street, £75 for 3 nights

Walked to Salford Quays through some dodgy highrise estate.
The Lowry museum, had a guided tour which was very good, certainly helped us to appreciate what we were seeing.
Visited the Imperial War Museum
Got the Tram back into town.
Visited the Museum of Science and Technology, very good steam engine displays, aircraft hall, also had a Pegasus computer and a reconstruction of the ACE computer.
We also visited the Urbis exhibition hall, some kind of super city exhibition.
Also head a rather nice lamb steak in the Old Wellington in Shables Square
All in all, quite impressed with Manchester.
