Only in ALC region 1 day? 🤔
Not brilliant loads. Lets hope they sold plenty of high cost tickets.
I bought mine a week in advance for £16.99 per sector.
Yeah. I had 3 days off work so really wanted to do a Christmas market but the flights were well over £100 return. Found fights to ALC for £33.98 return. When I travel I like to stay in Accor hotels ( ibis Novotel Mercure ) I never knew they had a Mercure in Benidorm. Absolutely gorgeous hotel it was too. £70 a night half board. I found transfers with a company called Beniconnect. 4 of us on a 70 seat coach from ALC to Benidorm and similar on the way back for £24.
No pain, no gain. It'll be a messy winter but worth it. Enjoy Alicante. Again!!
Update, the only issue I've noticed with the new terminal which I've mentioned before are the steps down to the apron from each gate, there too narrow so when passengers queue down them they tend not to queue in 2 rows, it creates a backlog into the main lounge of which the staff then have to tell passengers to queue in 2 rows which is a tight squeeze, plus the steps have a factory feel to them, other than that its great experience passing through the new extention!
I had the dubious pleasure of using the posh new international arrivals facility at LBA last night for the first time to pick up my aged parents from the TFS flight. Lovely air conditioning, built in sprinkler to keep everyone cool, dim mood lighting..................thank goodness I'm a LBA supporter who's aware of the ongoing works to improve the airport. What anyone must think using the airport for the first time - especially to pick someone up - is likely not printable.
And an accidental burning damages claim waiting to happen. H&S restrictions severely limit what can be done. Patio heaters would be a non starter.
One of the spare seats was soon taken haha Flight was 5mins early departing LBA and landed 25mins early into Alicante, a pleasant 16c, clear and calm here at 8pm
Personally i think its great having all the construction going on with temporary walkways etc, its exciting to know the airports changing for the better!
I get what you're saying - 100% - but pubs and cafes with outdoor eating areas seem to manage with them. We all know what it's like waiting and waiting of friends & family coming through arrivals - at all airports, many worse than LBA even when the arrivals area is indoor.
Yes, they do. Until there's an incident and the more people in the vicinity, and the more they are moving about, the more likely that incident will be.
And in my case last night I watched the plane land from the cemetery, gave it a few minutes, went to the car park, sat a while in the warm, then went and stood by the arrivals to meet a couple in their late 80's who are not especially savvy with technology.
I imagine that space is at a premium around there with the contractors compound etc. Perhaps it wasn't physically or safely feasible to provide more space. Building works on this scale, whilst keeping an airport terminal fully operational is a huge and complex task, particularly with the HSE crawling all over the risk assessments. Frankly, it's amazing they're managing to do it at all in what is a relatively compact terminal building. Some compromise was always going to be necessary particularly during certain phases of the project.
Unbelievably on my return flight back today i had the whole row to myself again, thats a first there and back 😂 ryanair are giving me special privileges finger 😂
