Leeds Bradford - General Thread

[Pat]

Looking at the prices to get to some of these towns and cities which are served by both rail and air, the plane, quite often is both cheaper and quicker.

Based on some of my journeys to London on business trips, your Avatar would get there before the train rip!!

Just watching it on the webcam. Looks strange amongst the usual gaggle of Jet2's! It must have come in on 32 as the ones leaving are flying out over Otley. Hopefully this will continue so I'll get to see it when it leaves.

What was that doing in, anybody know? :shok:

 

[Bigman]

God knows, but I nearly fell off my buffet at the airport when it landed. It definitely went out to LHR.

Do you think BA are "testing the water" in preparation for maybe using LBA if those strikes go ahead and shut down BAA airports?

Definitely not. It was a private charter from Leeds to Heathrow for a hundred or so pax.

I dont mind if BA start using LBA more often, but was nice to see something different over my house rather than Jet 2's & Ryanairs etc ....

Strange (but kinda good) to see BA back in. Used to be diversions and not much else since the Tristar incident. Only hope that its more often, even if it was a one off.

When I was 16 I enquired and they only offered it to local schools, Benton Park and Guiseley and possible the ones in Cookridge and Horsforth.
Its to do with security I was told, as they can't let too many come, and they can arrange for security checks with these partner schools. I guess its also to help the local community, and ease of access.

No more about the Rhinos in this thread please. If you want to discuss them use our sports forum here

Also, please read this thread before making any more posts and refer back to it in future if you are not sure. Don't take offence, this is simple forum house keeping.

So we had a 767 the other day? This follows the BA flight the other week, and with PIA maybe sending a 777 our way I have to say it's exciting times for our little international airport. Who knows, maybe sometime in the future we may even get a 747 back! :rockon:

Just been trawling the web looking for advice on buses to LBA, still can't find out which First Buses (if any) go there, and can't find out how much the 757 costs return to Leeds, not very impressed with the information (or lack of) to be honest. Anyway, the reason for my posting is because while searching I came across this: http://www.airlinequality.com/Airports/ ... um/lba.htm it shows some varied opinions of LBIA, many of which from a passenger's perspective are not good ones. I think sometimes we see through some of our airport's inadequacies, because it is OUR local airport, and we're pretty proud of it. It seems from a wider perspective we've got a long way to go in order to please the masses.
