Re: Leeds Bradford - General Thread If the free drop-off is so close why is there a shuttle bus provide every 15 minutes. I really think LBIA are taking the micky. Everybody is entitled to make a profit but to continually increase prices because you have a monopoly will just p**s customers...

Re: Leeds Bradford - General Thread Can somebody from LBIA (maybe Tony Hallwood) please justify why 1. the drop off parking has gone up by 50%. 2. the fast-track was increased last year a...

Re: Leeds Bradford - General Thread Anger over rise in Leeds Bradford Airport drop-off fee Complaints over new airport charges Drop-off charges at Leeds Bradford Airport have risen by 50%, prompting anger from motorists. Drivers now have to pay £3 instead of £2 to access the area outside the...

Just to confirm - I like using LBIA. I emailed Tony Hallwood but as yet have not received a reply. maybe he's on holiday.

To be honest I included a link to the thread so he can see all of the comments by users of this forum. If he wasn't already a member he might find it interesting to get a different view of his airport. I realise that many users on this are aviation enthusiasts and naturally want to give the...

In isolation this is a minor error but following on from a 5 minute delay at the end of the runway and a further 30 minutes sat in the plane waiting for the transfer bus this was irritating. You said yourself that this happened to you last time you went through the airport. So putting the...

The administrator of the forum advised against giving out the guys email address in the previous post so that is the reason i said I wouldn't email him. I will be emailing him details of my posting here now I know it is not a problem.

I won't be emailing the guy. However, I'd be interested to know from all you 'People On The Ground' at lbia just how many checks and balances are in place to pick up poor performance in the different areas at the airport. Is there an sla in place when a car park barrier breaks? (If there is a...

Re: LBIA Shambles today If there are too few staff who are undertrained and not engaged then this IS exactly the fault of Servisair. Additionally, the bags were on belt 1 whilst the screens said they were on belt 3 - and believe it or not, thats where all the Arrecife passengers were until the...

Re: LBIA Shambles today Monarch were great. The plane was very spacious(both ways), much more so than other short haul operators. I don't think all of their planes are like this because I went on a return to Majorca about a month ago and whilst the outward plane had lots of space the return...

LBIA Shambles today Just came back from Lanzarote today. After landing at 16:50 we waited at the end of the runway 5 minutes as there was a plane on its way in and another on its way out. After finally taxiing to its parking spot we were kept waiting about 30 minutes on the plane because there...

Re: Movements Log & Heads Up Going back to 12 July last year this was posted on the forum. However the archived movements (on lbaspotters website) suggest that it was G-CELU that operated that test flight. Which is likely to be correct?

You are correct. I never intended this posting to become the tennis match it became. I can see that lbia is a decent enough guy and for the record I'd like to thank him(her)for the politeness and helpfulness shown with my queries. Also to all other users contributing to this thread.

You also told me SPECIFICALLY that GCELU was the only plane to suffer with a brake problem on that date. What was the cause of the problem with the 07:20am flight to Alicante (G-LSAB) ? I'll help you out here lbia: Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations by lbia » Fri Jul 13...

The level of compensation (400E)was set by the EU and it is not reimbursement of expenses but compensation (and I suspect punitive damages) for inconvenience. The 5.5 hour delay actually changed a 4 night trip into a 3 night trip as the flight landed at 1:15am instead of 7pm. The delay was...

It's true I am a new member of this forum. However, a 'star conributor' of this forum raised exactly the same issue regarding Jet2's performance last summer (only a week after my 5.5 hour delayed flight). If you look at page 189 of Weather & Technical Diversions, Delays & Cancellations thread he...

"Most technical delays are subject to 'extrordinary circumstances' when it comes to this European regulation." - Well although the original EU ruling is a little bit woolly about whether technical faults on the plane constitute extraordinary circumstances there have been 2 cases that clarify...

I have an ongoing claim for compensation with jet2 for a delay of 5.5 hours last year in which they say the delay was caused by "extraordinary circumstances, more specifically a flight safety shortcoming". Looking at other peoples experiences Jet2 seem to refuse to accept responsibility for ANY...

Maybe I'll ask next time I'm at the airport. Besides the saving there is something quite exciting about not knowing where you're going. thanks for the reply.
