It used to be my local airport and despite all the poor reviews, I’ve never had a bad experience there. I must have flown from LBA on around 30 occasions and not once did anything go wrong. No queues, no overcrowding and rarely any delays. I lived 30 minutes away and I found it an excellent little airport.
I think the only issue with Leeds Bradford Airport is the fact it is one of the oldest, and hasn't had the expansion needed for the passengers at peak times. When I flew last time it was fine, but when you have school holidays summer flights, it struggles
Same. I will say it does feel a little overcrowded at times due to its size and the increasing amount of flights, but I always felt getting through security and onto the plane has been done efficiently whenever I've used it.
Having flown on a peak-time flight to Alicante during half term, I had a very positive experience. Efficient security (5 mins) with helpful staff, and the airport never felt super crowded anywhere. Way better than when I last flew from LBA, back in 2010, and significantly nicer than Manchester T3, which had the worst security I've ever experienced.
I fly from here on a regular basis one of the main issues. You have walk through these tunnels to get to your aircraft I would class them as bus shelters put together . In winter it’s absolutely freezing I think it’s about time to get them removed. One of the main problems is the local people objected to a new terminal that the airport wanted to build. This building was going to replace existing building and be a lot greener for the environment . My opinion you have to move with the times if not you get left behind.
My two main gripes with this airport are, you have to walk out to the aircraft which means that if there is heavy rain you arrive on the aircraft very wet. Secondly, most airports that I've been to, you simply walk out of arrivals and there is a taxi rank or bus stop therefore no problems. Owing to the excessive parking and pickup/set down fees this doesn't happen at Leeds. You have to order a taxi and wait, and again there is no proper shelter to wait under so you end up wet again.
It's just an old airport. It needs a complete overhaul but yes the taxi thing is a problem. At least you can get the bus from outside to Leeds and I believe Harrogate, although I just saw the Leeds bus when there. That goes up to the main door
@@beantravelling Yes you are quite right in what you say, but they could at least make the problem that they themselves have created with taxis, more palatable with a decent shelter for people who need to wait for them. There is a particular taxi service with a base on the airport, but they charge considerably more than anyone else so are worth avoiding.
I have flown from this airport in the region of 30 times over the past 25 years. It isn't the easiest place to get to being several miles from the nearest motorway/dual carriageway system. However when you do get there the Sentinel car par park is without doubt the best airport car park. Ive flown with KLM, Ryanair, BA and Jet2 from here and whilst never encountered any significant problems the Jet2 welcome/check in is fabulous. So friendly and efficient. The duty free and restaurant/cafe/shops are all pretty standard as they are operated by the same company in most UK airports. The actual process of getting from the terminal building to the aircraft certainly needs a radical overhaul {I am aware other commenters have mentioned this and I was not aware there had been objections from locals to the planning application}. I cannot recall ever having a delayed flight from here, my flights with KLM and BA were to their hubs at Schipol and Heathrow so that is very important. I much prefer going from here than Manchester or East Midlands which are my logical alternatives
Looks a hell of a lot better than the experience we had at Manchester terminal 2 last year. Minimum a half to threequarters of an hour queues for everything including the gents toilets! Packed solid with people with no where to sit, dirty scruffy seats all stained with god know what. We fly out of Leeds/Bradford next week, will post an update of the experience when we return from holiday .
I use LBA for my holiday flights.Two major problems.Foodvcourts not big enough for the volume of passengers,and the walk to the planes if it is raining
Always used to go to Manchester, after trying Leeds, we have now used it 3 times, and it seems fine to me, replace the old bus shelter walkways and jobs a good un.
I live a mile from here and watch planes from my landing window taking off and landing. The only issue with leeds is the poor runway condition makes it bumpy . Also loads of turbulent shakes as its a high airport but its served us all well.
I know. The company I work for is based in Belfast and I deal with people all around the world who have difficulty in realizing that. I was merely traveling to a meeting, then going back to Yorkshire
It's actually quite effective and efficient. The baggage collection is old (currently being upgraded) and the layout is a bit strange. But it runs pretty smoothly!
Ive flown from leeds / bradford Airport for 30 + years , when i whent to the airport it was empty ,you were lucky to see another person, obviously now its more commercial its got busier. My worst bugbear with leeds is the baggage reclaim area ,it can be a heaith and safety issue when 2 or 3 flights land at the same time ,and the drop off and collection area is dangerous and you get battered by the wind and rain.
I will be flying Into LBA soon and I’m really looking forward to it. I haven’t been to this airport since Wardair used to fly nonstop. from Canada. Thanks for this video. I actually think that it looks like a nice airport and it’s only 15 minutes from t’house.
@@beantravelling it’s actually pretty good but why do they not put like a block for fashion, and like a food court but the other things are fine I guess
Informative vlog, I’ve flew in and out of LBA with Ryanair to and from Ireland, always found Leeds to feel crampt and crowded. Belfast Int is by far the worst in Ireland 😂. Keep up the good work.
Thanks. Belfast international is awful so I have heard, but i think you may have had more experience of that than me. What do you think of City airport?
@@beantravelling With city airport, I think you made a good point in that it was actually designed to be an airport, and with it being small, the huge windows allow for so much more natural light vs Leeds Bradford. What did you think of the Aer Lingus flight over? the planes are so tiny! Niamh x
RAF Yeadon to most of us, home to the WWII camouflaged Avro factory c/w fibre glass cows on the top. When they extended the runway 1983/84, they moved the old Roman 'Stoop stone' because it was right in the way of the runway, only been there 2,000 years! In the 1950s they had an RAF training school for Leeds University Air Squadron. there were times that the odd chipmunk ended up in Yeadon Tarn when they misjudged their landings!
It was never meant to be an airport, it was an aircraft factory with a runway attached to it, the idea was that the aircraft were built, pushed out of the production facility where an ATS lass would come along, jump in and leave to go to squadron service and never come back. Later adopted by the RAF and even later adopted by Leeds Bradford city council. The rest is history.
The positive is it’s convenience. No hassle that we have trailing to Manchester. The complaints are L&B is far too small for the amount of people using it. There’s no where to sit unless you spend a fortune in the food areas. The distance you have to walk from the aircraft trailing heavy bags to the main exits is exhausting, especially when your getting on a bit.
I would fly from anywhere rather than Manchester airport, which always has issues: snow cancellation in winter, power cut in summer and I have been in both of those accidents. The worst airport is Manchester.
The simple answer is I don't know, however the runway being situated where it is and being a longer than some due to the previous usage during the war, did give an advantage over others.
@@beantravelling Thanks for the reply. I was just watching this video because my brother is about to take a flight today from here to Amsterdam, and then to Boston. Only problem is he only has 60 mins to change at Amsterdam and the first flight is now 40 mins late, so I hope they hold the second one so that he has time to make the change! I've never been to Leeds Bradford Airport. It looks interesting (for an airport). My local one is Birmingham, or East Midlands.
I actually work in travel, and if he has booked through KLM all the way, they are responsible for getting him to his final destination if the flight is late. If he has booked each flight separately, it's his responsibility. Hope that helps
@@beantravelling They have started work on a £100 million extension to the terminal and they are going to reconfigure the current terminal to fit in with it. I fly fom LBA around 4 times a year and don't have problems plus it's just up the road from where I live.
The trouble with Leeds/Bradford airport is the size of the place ! It has not been allowed to expand with the growing passenger numbers mainly because of Jet2's success ! Leeds council are so backward it's untrue ! It doesn't need night flights It just needs more space for passengers to spread out !
Worst in what way? I’ve operated from LBA since 1988 and apart from overattentive staff security, an out of wind runway, a single runway which is bizarrely downhill at both ends, the worst snow record in the British Isles, the worst wind conditions in the UK and the worst weather and visibility due to it being on top of a hill, I can’t understand why you would think it was a bad airport? I prefer to call it challenging.
@@johnmorris7815 if you watch to the end, you will see I believe it does well with what it has, and I point out how this is an old airport which limits the way it can work. The 'worst airport ' was from a report just after COVID when staff levels were down
@@beantravelling I did watch and I agree with your statement, however my comment is also regarding operating from LBA since 1988 in F27’s, DC9’s, B737’s and A320 family of aircraft. Unfortunately it like many other regional airports has infrastructure that is constantly behind the level of traffic that it generates and they are always limited by space, when I started to operate there it had a usable cross runway that had to close to provide more parking, other ares were also sacrificed for the same end while the terminal had the front moved forward about 30 feet to accommodate a larger checkin area, the lounge area is pretty much unchanged though.
We are from Lancashire and swear by LB Airport...used it 50 + on business and holidays. By choice wouldn't go anywhere else. Parking 10 out of 10, security 10/10 . Manchester is a nightmare on every level. My bag had been opened, security ..takes an age...very negative experience always.
Leeds were going to expand the airport but the local action group who seem to complain about everything put in an objection, if you want to complain about noise from an airport why would you chose to live near one.
Worse Airport for what? This is RAF Yeadon and the highest airfield in the UK. Its runway is legendary for the ‘hump’ designed to get heavy bombers off the ground by giving more lift. It’s actually one of the best airports, in many respects. I’ve had and seen a couple of “go round” incidents due to the cushion of wind over the hump (there’s a proper name for it but I don’t know what it is). This stops the plane from dropping and as hard as the flight deck try it just won’t go down so a “go round” is a regular occurrence. Nothing to be frightened of!
Does what it says on the tin..no frills, no swathes of fancy shops, bars etc...10 minutes in a taxi from home....new terminal under construction...viva LBA!
As you can see in my review, it's fine just built from the original airport so dated layout. I do feel the issues are from just after lockdown when it had some major staff issues, which are now sorted
My question is not about the airport but who are they they say it's the worst airport who are they because in my mind you can't wait for the airport unless you want to go Long Haul in which case go down to Heathrow never mind Manchester
You were lucky when we went in 2022 it took us 1 1/2 hours to get through security and that was only because we were pulled from the queue as our flight was leaving.
Not for me - a B to get to/from. - and they are contemplating expanding to long haul flights. They dropped a bollock by not making Doncaster/ Sheffield airport work. Second class Britain/cattle class management.
love this airport flew from here for over 20 years with no issues no long walks and on time departures and there tying to improve the airport but unfortunately Leeds shitty council keep knocking them back...labour who control Leeds and are killing the city be issuing 20 mph speed limits on the runway soon ...
Sad to say this but Manchester Airport has got to be a contender for worst UK airport..it used to win prizes..but what a terrible airport it is these days ...
Rubbish great airport lba wouldn't fly anywhere else.Go to Manchester Airport which more about extortion from the minute you get there to the time you board .
LEEDS BRADFORD ISNT A 'SMALL AIRPORT' ITS THE BEST AIR POERT IN THE KNOW UNIVERSE AND FOR THAT REASON ALONE HAVE I MADE THE STRONG DECISION TO DISS LIKE THIS RECHID RUclips VIDEO THAT I WILL NOT BE TAKING ANY INFO FROM. But I am still intrigued what you and the telegraph think about this airport. So your welcome for a view. I expect 100 of your fine British pound to enter my bank shortly!!
Define worst? Just exactly what makes Leeds Bradford the worst airport in the UK and how is it that you know this? Because to make such a sweeping and very ignorant claim you must have access to a lot of insider information. Have you made comparisons by flying into and out of various regional airports around the UK such as Southampton, Exeter, Plymouth, Bristol, Norwich, East Midlands, Humberside, Cardiff Wales, Prestwick, Dundee, Inverness, Wick, Sumburgh, Newcastle', Liverpool, Sheffield Doncaster, Cambridge, Londonderry and Bournemouth?

I think you should give him his hundred quid.
Eh......come again?
Define worst?
Just exactly what makes Leeds Bradford the worst airport in the UK and how is it that you know this?
Because to make such a sweeping and very ignorant claim you must have access to a lot of insider information.
Have you made comparisons by flying into and out of various regional airports around the UK such as Southampton, Exeter, Plymouth, Bristol, Norwich, East Midlands, Humberside, Cardiff Wales, Prestwick, Dundee, Inverness, Wick, Sumburgh, Newcastle', Liverpool, Sheffield Doncaster, Cambridge, Londonderry and Bournemouth?
As the video states, it was a UK national newspaper, and my opinion is it isn't that bad just had issues just after lockdown
