I've booked LBA BFS with EZY in August

 

[AirBingley]

Travelling to BCN in Sept but the Jet2 Friday flight we're looking at is eye wateringly expensive and KLM is less - come back Vueling - this service used to be daily with LS and now in the summer 2x a week at high fares!

I always seem to book the difficult destinos....Gib in May but has, therefore, to be Manc (urg) in May..Red Funnel and Brittany Ferries in between but for FUE in November, Jet2 have blocked out the dates I want on Package only from LBA...so unless I want a very long trek its back to Manc and its anal security staff.....I`m going to have to start going somewhere else..
As someone above said....its good to be able to book trips again.

BCN is definitley one destination i can see EZY, VY or FR back on, I am surprised we haven't seen another operator on it since ZB & VY was on it.

Ap1995, Yes. Both J2H are from LBA. EZE in July will probably be BA from LHR because I have a £300 voucher to use up from a cancelled flight last year. EZE in October I’m not sure yet. I like to try different airlines down to Argentina so may give Air Europa or Iberia a go.

Oh and I booked a Ryanair LBA-PMI flight only last night…..I was bored. 27-29th March £15.98 return. It will cost me more to get up to LBA in a taxi.

I was hoping to fly from LBA to Bergerac with LS in July but fare is ridiculously expensive. Although Ryanair fares to Bergerac from LPL aren't on sale yet its looking like they will be 1/3 of the price. Shame as its a long drive to/from LPL.

Have you used the myJet2 15% discount code? helps bring the prices down and discounts seats and baggage also

Good idea, but what is the code?

You have to sign up to be a member and they send unique codes every 2 weeks

I signed up this morning so presumably its too late if I want to book today.

Sorry folks, I can't resist a "double post". I have booked a day return to LHR in early June.

If you can stand waiting on the helpline and explain they will give you a special code they have for this purpose. They did for me at least.

London Heathrow spotting day trip booked for bank holiday in June (Thursday 2nd) using the new Flybe Leeds /Bradford service. Return flights with pre-booked seats cost £90 which is around same price I paid when last using the British Airways service.

Was going to do a overnighter, but I need to be back at Headingley on Friday 2nd for the Yorkshire vs Durham, T/20 blast game.

hopefully the service may be attractive for both football / cricket fans in both directions also

Hopefully but they're hoping to have to up their fares to make it pay.

Travelled through LBA this morning,although checked in had to pick up boarding pass from KLM desk. It took 35mins, security 55 minutes. I hate to think what it will be like at Easter.
Now at AMS waiting for connection to BSL.

Still far better than MAN and BHX also struggling. Had the Government given more support to airports at the start of the pandemic, they might not have had to make so many staff redundant and wouldn't now been in this situation. It hasn't helped that the Government has also introduced even stricter vetting of security staff which has added 2 weeks to the training period of all new staff.

 

[ls27]

They ought to make a strict vetting of MPs

I should have added that everyone was calm and collected. I got through security before a couple who had checked in before me who paid for fast track.

Looking at the bad press MAN is getting at the moment we may pick up some extra bookings from travellers wanting to avoid the queues.
