Landed Leeds last Sunday morning on the inbound Sun Express Airbus A320, 9H-GKK from Antalya. Parked stand 10 outside the new terminal extension. We used rear steps to disembark the aircraft then walked cross the apron straight into the new terminal heading down to immigration. The were No ques as we were the only arrival at that time.
After getting our passports checked we the headed straight into the new large more spacious baggage hall to belt 3. Then strangely for some unknown reason we waited 45 mins for our bags to arrive, when the belt finally started moving the was a big round of applause. The was both a Ryanair and Jet2 flight that landed after us and their bags came before ours.
Meanwhile whilst waiting around I tried using my Mobile data seen as was wanted to book an Uber taxi, but I could not get any reception in there on the 02 network.
Finally after getting our bags back we trundled down the temporary walk way and after leaving the building my phone came back to life so I managed to book an Uber within 5 mins. It only cost us £15 home back to Stanningley. A lot cheaper than using Arrows whom have charged me £26 for the same trip last year.
Down in London next weekend for a music festival. Using LNER train for trip down south next Sunday, then am having a day spotting at Heathrow on Monday 14th and yes sadly booked to fly up to Manchester using British Airways on return, we really do need that link back now that I have got my Arsenal Membership.
Doing a (Spotting) day trip out to Dublin on Saturday July 19th with Ryanair, so I will finally get to use the new Leeds Bradford departures area for first time. Then got a 6+ day All Inclusive trip out to Lanzarote booked in September with our very own Jet2 Holidays.
