I have flown from Faro to Toronto several times on the Air Transat A321neo, and found it to be very comfortable on an 8 hour plus flight, in fact I preferred the experience over the wide body Air Transat A330, that is also used on the higher traffic periods between Faro and Toronto. The...

And people complain that their is a 3 drink limit in the lounges!

Probably a fan of Trump!

This is not a political forum LBA4EVER, if you are commenting on my FACTS about why I believe there is an opportunity for transatlantic travel between Canada and the US, then your political rant is unjustified. I will not stoop to correct your comments, but if you need to pledge your support...

There is a big opportunity if things continue the way they are here in Canada. It has been reported that bookings between the US and Canada have declined drastically and for April 2025, only 295,982 bookings have been recorded, a 75.7% decline. People are opting for the Caribbean and Mexico...

I have flown a couple of times on the Air Transat A321LR from Faro to Toronto and had no problems at all on the transatlantic flights of 8 hours and 20 minutes. The flights over were on the A330, and to be honest, I found the A321 to be just as comfortable, with plenty of leg room and the added...

Well, if it was gas filled, those that shall not be named probably thought it was part of their group doing reconnaissance!

I know it is not overhead LBA, but just spotted this guy overhead. Luckily the skies were clear for a change. He is a long way from home.

The air is denser on cold days, so I am surprised that the air would have been described as thinner, given that the temperature would have been around freezing. Colder/dense air would also give more lift over the wing allowing for a better climb performance. I know the airport is on a hill...

The good thing is that the airport is still there and exceeding predictions from all the nay sayers. It was interesting that Manchester only had 1miilon + passengers at that time.

I just watched the documentary which aired in 1968 about LBA (YEADON), which I have not seen since a kid. One thing is evident, that some things never change, small minded politicians, no forward thinking, proven that any airport in the Goole, Thorne, Doncaster area, regardless of runway length...

She also had an assistant called Amy, who did a parachute jump, and at the time was the eldest female to do a parachute jump in the UK. I believe that it was televised on YTV’s Calendar with Austin Mitchell. That was when the parachute club was based at LBA. They had a drop zone behind the...

You ain’t use to speaking proper English like wot I do!

Certainly was not Tosh, maybe the reference to T&A?

It was a Piper Navajo, and I think it operated the daily flights for ICI and the pilot had a heart attack, with the plane ending up in the crematorium. There was also an Aztec that crashed into the cemetery at the end of 15 (in those days) in thick fog. I believe that it was owned by Northair...

Whatever happened to freedom of speech? Probably why the country is going to the dogs!

Looks like LCC have taken a page out of Manchester United's book and are using the Fergie Time rule. If they cant find an excuse to stop the new terminal, they are going to delay it as long as possible to see if an excuse comes along. The quote fits perfectly, “Extra time played in a game...

I remember in the early days when the airport used to shut down around 10pm, the ATC would sometimes sign off by saying “goodnight to all our listeners”. They were a class act. Also the 10pm close time gave my brother just enough time to get down to the New Inn for last orders.

In the words of George Bernard Shaw's Maxims for Revolutionists. “He who can does; he who cannot, teaches.” Maybe these people should get real jobs?

As a Canadian resident am I able to submit my support for the planning submission on the LCC website? I did try to register so that I could log in, but it asks for a UK postal which I do not have. I did enter my old postal code from Rawdon, but it then needs UK address. As an airport user who...
