Too good to last. The BBC, via our favourite correspondent on Look North, did venture into the subject of night flights, although the overall tone remained positive and still no mention of they who shall not be named. Perhaps they've switched allegiance to ITV?
And just remember @White Heather you have just posted this on forens4airports!

It will make an even bigger impression when belts 4 and 5 open. The space for belt 4 is currently being used by customs and belt 5 will be in the old part of the terminal when it's finished.
I've actually just left a group on a certain social media outlet as the comments were doing my head in. Endless moaning from people who haven't even been in the new building. It's clear they're not happy about the airport doing something that negates the need to indulge in their favourite past time- moaning about LBA.
The number of comments about seating is incredible. Seating that is comparable to seating in all other airports and which the commenters know from a picture is uncomfortable. There was one that said it must be uncomfortable because there’s a man stood up!
Funiliy enough when I saw the CGI of the terminal I realised it was going to be the same style seating as what's at Leeds City Station. I made a point of sitting there a few months back before catching the Ilkley train and do you know what, it was actually quite comfortable, supprisingly comfortable actually.
Just waiting on @LBA4EVER to ask for longer benches!
The airport should have consulted with these people on seating! Lots of nice armchairs perhaps with Shackleton High Seats for those needing them, all lined up so they have a view of the planes. Its just not good enough to provide wooden slat circular benches around planters and rows of plastic or metal boom seating. The wood and metal is too hard, the slats too far apart and what if you get a seat without a runway view? These are clear failures. As for the boom seating, you could end up sitting next to someone else that you don't want to sit next to or facing completely the wrong way, forcing folk to turn round to see the runway or even the departures board. Maybe I should complain at the next ACC?
Remember they will need to be completely flat too!
Whatever you do WH do not look at the comments on the latest video LBA has put on its Facebook page in the last few minutes of arrivals on Facebook (which looks really excellent by the way). It wouldn’t be good for your health. One woman has written it doesn’t look any different 😂😂🤯🤯
Too late. I read them, and saw her stupid comments. I did consider recommending specsavers, but in the end couldn't be bothered and went for my shingles jab instead. I'm not reading any more though.
About that escalator…. 😂😂😂😂
The more vitriol & anti LBA comments particularly from our friends in South Yorkshire to me proves that LBA are going in the right direction……🤣 They see very little if any progress on their beloved airport and certainly no sign of any private investment in the foreseeable future and even they can see the impact the changes at LBA have on any chance of their airport ever succeeding - if indeed it ever does open to passenger traffic!
