So much for the much heralded plan for the Harrogate Line which was treated to a loco hauled train in the morning which then went to Carlisle and back in time for the return trip to Harrogate/York. As a Wharefdale user, I sympathize, but now our Bradford trains are "rammed" with folks going...

Snap! The sound is breaking up, and unreadable, but I did hear screams from Departures as a friend's LKM inbound went to Finningley this morning! Merely a job interview later today in Canada was at stake. Bhowani

Very Sad. However KLM will reap the whirlwind. I nearly had to go to Oslo in the next few weeks, and the KLM fare would have been circa £140. (I know + extras etc) Sadly, meeting was cancelled. SAS in no way competed with KLM, and I didn't want to go on a Monday or Friday!. As others have...

Flew out last Monday on tea time Flybe Dash 8 - as others have commented the terminal building was too hot and the air con was either off or could not cope. I arrived in Belfast on time and my host got out of their "pick-up" car park within the 10 minutes allowed FREE! Unfortunately I was not...

Alas another boot has landed a blow on LBA's public face. Tonight the BBC declare on their "Red Button" service that LBA's arrivals will no longer be shown on Page 468. Sad: am I the only one that used it to see what was trundling when Wharfe Valley when watching TV and away from a computer...

LBA/Bergen Sunday 4th May on Germania Charter for Hurtigruten. The flight/sailing cannot be full as they are now "throwing in" free flights with the cost of the trip! My fourth trip "round the top" the previous ones being on two (powered! wheels. Bhowani

HUY SAS/Copenhagen flights terminate early April... Does this bode well for the LBA/Copenhagen flights starting shortly? Bhowani

Some of the Ilkley LBA passengers DO use the Menston/LBA 'bus having got to Menston on the train. The local media report that the Menston/LBA service might be retained if only on an hourly basis. That would probably suffice although an earlier loop through Menston village would be nice. at the...

We can all relax. It is an A310 as usual - in the air as I write! Bhowani

Can we classify this flight as our first LBA/Kararchi flight, even if it didn't carry any fare paying passengers? It be a postive weekend for LBA - though no compensation for the events at Wembley! Bhowani

No comment in the YP today, either, that I have seen. The A310 has taken offence: it landed EXACTLY at 1607, the predicted ETA, and EARLY! All good trade for us! Bhowani

I have just completed my fourth "trip" of the year and for what it's worth... Oslo in January (LBA/OSL) (KLM) on time and exactly what it said on the tin. Guernsey in August (Aurigny) from Ringway. Train trip a drag, Rowdy vibrating aircraft! Majorca in September (Jet 2) from LBA. Apart from...

Interesting re Belfast Sydenham (sorry - City/GBIA) I am travelling to Belfast later this month and my hosts live in Larne. On being given the choice of City or Aldergrove, they elected firmly to pick us up from City. They are virtually equidistant so Aldergrove must loose out on other grounds...

Interesting........ LBA/Bergen & return 12 days later leaving 6th Feb 2013: only £2 difference between KLM and BA so the winner will be the onw with the most convenient flight times! 2 cheers for BA! Bhowani

PK776 came off stand at 1810, and has now gone back onto the airbridge, or at least back to the same stand. Medical or technical? Interesting................. Bhowani

Although he lives "round the corner" from me in LS 29, a friend is flying back to MAN on LS 972 from Rome on 7th July. As a well built gent, he is concerned whether it will be a 737 or a 757. Can someone with acess to systems help? Thanks Bhowani

...and the daft thing is that Leeds OBJECTED to the 2 new(BRADFORD) sites in Menston, now approved, on the grounds that the A65 corridor (road and trains) is FULL. Try using ity OFF PEAK on a weekend! I must declare I live in Menston, and use the train for work in Ilkley.

Can I record a "Hurrah" for the 967 route: having got back in from AMS at 1629 on an EARLY KLM flight I was through and on the bus at 1651 & home for 1720. I have found a perfect way to avoid the "taxi" problem and the "£2 kiss and fly" charge. Roll on my next trip! Bhowani (must declare...

Thanks: the passenger I spoke to said they were towed, not pushed, which was the bit that confused me. Certainly it was an entertaining landing; more to come tonight (2/1/12) by all accounts! Bhowani

Re: KLM cityhopper B.V Can anyone confirm that the KL1551 arrival on Wednesday night 28 12 was towed STERN FIRST onto stand owing to the wind problems? How did they do it? !! Bhowani
