Leeds Bradford - General Thread

[LBA4EVER]

It's been pretty much the same for arrivals from Spain for a while now - pre arrivals test, PLF, day 2 & 8 test booking.

The only change recently is that those fully vaccinated in the UK/EU/US no longer have to self isolate after arriving from Spain and only need a day 2 test rather than a day 8. So for these people it is - pre arrivals test, PLF, day 2 test booking.

You would be surprised how many people i know that dont have a clue about whats required but like you say recently there has not been much change in requirements

I think most if not all shops are now open. By what I’ve read on other threads it just seems like the Foreign exchange stores are the only things closed but hope to be opened soon.

Hope that helps

A little bit of Teesside showboating by the look of it: https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/19579174.around-80-passengers-travel-leeds-teesside-airport/

I think it shows that they are on the ball and making the most of the misfortune of others. Good on them. If only LBA could be as prompt at getting such stuff out to the media and making more people aware of their presence.

I’m not entirely sure of the capacity of that aircraft, but Seat guru says 132 pax if full. This suggests if that plane wasn’t scheduled for MME , then the passengers should have come the other way, as there were less of them to inconvenience. The flip side of the news is that the Teesside flight would have been about 1/3 full so obviously they were greatful of a few punters in their terminal Not knocking the place as Teesside airport was pleasant the times I have used it.

Hoping Michael Gove picks up on the new terminal proposals quicker than Jenrick did, fingers crossed

As HX3 has said, if 80 pax got shipped up to the MME flight it shows our LF's are pretty impressive, compared to there's, is really worth shouting about? however I do agree MME post a lot on social media/linked in/the press shouting about their airport. I wish LBA was a bit more proactive when it came to that. Just wish the press would support LBA more like other airports/local press does.

I see the north south money divide isn’t getting any better, i read the chancellor Rishi sunak has announces £300 million is being invested in a Thames free port
It’s only a new terminal we want passing

Dont forget we are getting a freeport of our own in the North at Teesport.

The Humber Ports also in line for freeport status not that any of this will have any effect on aviation.

A sign of how things are picking up at LBA - just 5 737s stood idle on the apron this lunchtime. A couple of months ago there would be anywhere between 15 and 18 on a Saturday lunchtime.

And come next week, a fair few will be arriving late at night due to the Turkey flights. I hope we have a very good and successful October if I'm honest.
