Funny though that the 'best' airports are the two that are being bailed out by respective Governments, one to keep it open and the other to reopen it 5 years after it closed. That tells you all you need to know. The best airports are often the least attractive to airlines, therefore the quietest in terms of passenger numbers, and therefore the least stressful. In my opinion, it's how stressful an airport is that determines popularity. Long queues, expensive food, insufficient seating and overcrowding raise stress levels. Rattling around in a terminal that only has a few flights makes it easy to keep the punters happy, but rarely ends well for the airport operator.

Im just saying that the smaller 'you are' the easier it is to better than the rest.

Not always. The problem Leeds has is that the current CSZ isn’t fit for purpose in design or size. However, I find that the staff are slow with the security process compared to other smaller airports I’ve experienced, as well as sometimes unfriendly.

Although the queue is worse than it looks, the optics to a normal punter look terrible. The new CSZ can’t come soon enough!

Despite Manchester consistently being ranked as the worst airport in these surveys, it hasn't put off the millions of people who fly from there annually, nor has it affected the range of airlines available. In reality, these studies aren't worth the paper they're printed on.

Well as I said in my previous post we cant judge the airport until all the work has been completed. They are doing the best they can right now with all the wip.

No excuse for miserable staff though. Having said that I found them ok the week before last

We will have to agree to disagree on this point!

I’ve booked 4 nights in Skiathos for the end of this month. Fly out from LGW with easyJet then back into LBA with Jet2 on their first flight of the season on the 2nd May. Looking at the seat map I was the only pax, so far, on the flight. I’ve just checked again now and there is now another person checked in…into the seat right next to me Hopefully Jet2 flight planning have just blocked out that seat.

I'll be flying from LBA with Jet2 to Naples in August subject to WW3 and volcanic eruptions.

No LBA flights planned. But there will be, mark my words
