Using Leeds Bradford Airport (Questions & Reviews)

[Finger66]

The new terminal regen can't come soon enough.

I'm a massive advocate for LBA, but having been through 8/9 airports this year, LBIA is the worst (apart from Terminal Billi at Bordeaux, but that's just a terminal and not the entire airport)

Dark and uninspiring througout, barely any shops, not enough seats or choice of food/drinks.

But I know the future is bright.

My experience is somewhat tainted too by a guy just spewing in the middle of the floor outside the toilets on the bottom floor near that sports bar thing.

Hewey and Ralph off on another stag do presumably then!!

Think you are being unfair….have you ever been through NQY or EXT, yes its not the best and thats why all that money is being spent on it. I for one like it, can’t beat a spewing golfer, did he shout 4 before he threw up?

Got to admit, LBA might be tired around the edges but it's a lot more efficient than many of the airports I've flown from.

To be fair though the Billi Terninal at Bordeaux is dire.

Hasn't DSA got a Billi Terminal too? Billi no mates!

The airport is exceptionally efficient for the number of passengers it processes vs its size, but I do agree it's probably in the worst condition of any airport I've been to

LBA make it known that they know that hence their desire to put that right.

The areas that I recall as particularly bad from my recent travels were the security area which is a tight squeeze and the location is somewhat dark.

The new security area which will be located in the current arrivals area will be larger but I do hope the airport take the opportunity to improve the lighting, or even to try get some natural light into the area.

Post security I didn't find the departure experience too bad up until boarding. The shopping experience was good as was the choice. Thankfully the boarding gates on the ground floor will become part of the arrivals area as that was particularly bad.

The main area of concern is the current arrivals facility. We know this is one of the main reasons for the new extension. Given this is the area considered as the main bottleneck I'm supprised the airport is still yet to release more details of the post REGEN arrivals experience.

You haven’t been to Heraklion yet TF

I’d say that’s much worser than LBA.

Completely new airport being built in Heraklion

Covid and dithering polatitions pretty much stopped it. That was the plan here if you remember.

Everytime I use the airport the LUFC shop is empty…how on earth does it makes a profit

Have you seen the price of their kit. At that price it won't take many sales to be rolling in money.

And they sold 15,000 if the new yellow away kit in the first 24 hours. They've been in the airport a few years now so they must be making some money. But, it will be interesting to see uif they are still there once the terminal redevelopment is completed. Contracts for retail outlets are still under negotiation but I'll be surprised if they take up residence in the new space.

Probably sold off all the stock at a knock down price like they have with their best players.

New £422million airport to open in Greece becoming one of the country's biggest

A HUGE new international airport is currently being built in Crete, Greece – and will become one of the country’s biggest. When it opens in 2027, Kastelli International Airport will rep…

Definitely going ahead, flew past it recently

But then it’s irrelevant to Leeds Bradford

Quite possible although the prices they've sold for are hardly knock down. £138m so far. Enough to build LBAs extension almost!

 

[Adiewomersley]

No doubting it's efficient. Just needs it's deserved spruce up. I can't wait.

Like i said i'm a big supporter!

 

[LBAYORKIE]

Having endured the grim arrivals hall this afternoon and waiting ages for bags I was disappointed there was nothing in there about the forthcoming improvements. I would have thought it would be a no-brainer to pacify angry customers with the prospect of an improved arrivals experience. Didnt see anything on the way out when we left on Tuesday either.

Maybe the large infrastructure going up is enough evidence in itself. I don't know.
