When we arrived from Dublin as a domestic arrival we walked straight into the new baggage reclaim. Not sure if it’s the same for all domestic arrivals? I just assumed that was the new norm.

Visit to LBA – First Impressions of the New Terminal I flew out of Leeds Bradford Airport on Wednesday morning for a day trip to Dublin and had the chance to experience the new terminal. First impressions: it definitely has the feel of a more modern, international airport. That said, it’s clear...

I understand why everyone is so concerned about Jet2 load factors and expansion etc but, I really don’t think their is much need for it. We are only just entering the school summer holidays period which is the busiest time for most airlines and airports. Load Factors will be naturally driven...

Hopefully we will see this once again in 2025/26! The morning Wizz wave used to be very exciting, made our little airport on the hill seem like “a proper airport”. Not just a leisure one.

Thank You @White Heather ! I always really enjoy reading your reports. I’m a rather impatient person and it feels like we need to be patient for another 2 years before anything significant happens at the airport. Hopefully Wizz operations increase soon, to remain safety within the 4 million...

Isn’t Warsaw just 3x per week with Ryanair from MAN?

Full flight. Full airport. Great to see an Airline filling the A321 out of LBA, alongside being the only operator. Proof it’s a good option for Jet2 too - alongside Ryanair when they receive the larger max in years to come. Hope to see more from Wizz at LBA. Many of their European hubs would...

Hello, hope everyone is well. Today I flew from LBA to Warsaw with Wizz Air (selfishly to see Beyoncé for her last European tour date) after flying with Ryanair to Modlin in January). Security is definitely not at its best. We arrived at the airport at 6am for our 8:10am departure. The queue...

It’s actually a rather modern approach in my opinion. Also visible pipes and ventilation is common in most venues I visit. Personally I think it’s a vast improvement and I like the new look.

This is what it looked like last Friday. The other half was boarded off.

Is this a potential fallout between Ryanair and Vilnius Airport? The route seemed to perform well. Hopefully it’s reinstated or another route is announced. I would love to see a new popular city break destination. If it’s more PMI or ALC I’ll bang my head against a wall.

Will be flying out of the airport on Friday. FR1933 to WMI. Does anybody know if the work on Check-in hall A has started or been completed?

Amazing. I’ve been able to transfer Porto flights I had booked from MAN to now arrive back into Leeds. Much better flight times, didn’t fancy having to be at Porto airport at 5am to fly back!!!!

The least they can do to distract us from the appearance is to get us in and out of arrivals ASAP. Jet2 handling agents definitely do, I’ve not spent longer than 20 mins in the LBA baggage hall this year, 2 of those flights being peak summer season too. The rest of my flights this year have...

Thank you for that rather positive outlook.
