I will find it interesting to see what happens when there is an incident on the motorway where it ends up with us sat in our electric cars for a couple of hours especially in the winter. Imagine hundreds of cars sat on the M1 not going anywhere soon but need to keep the lights on and the inside...

Seems to be a bit of a reduction but it’s a start. The Alicante starts late June but no Tenerife till October

Just noticed that the Ryanair flights from LBA have started to reappear again from July.

Got an email from Ryanair yesterday saying flights available to book for summer 2021. I had a quick look at the Ibiza flights for next summer from LBA and noticed that they don’t start till June/July which normally they would start April/May. Anyway I have another look this morning and all the...

Currently sat in bar in Singapore trying to catch up on life drinking overpriced beer. Trip to LHR from Leeds on Saturday went well. Must say on taxiing to T5 at Heathrow a lot of the BA aircraft did have poor well weathered paint jobs on them, I’m not surprised BA now has lost its world...

Went for the Qantas option, fly down to LHR on BA 1341 tomorrow (5th Oct) then on to Singapore with Qantas on QF2. A few days there before going on to Brisbane. Will be my first time on a A380.

Thanks for that Offint, Qantas is cheaper as well.

Looking at going to Oz via Singapore in the next few weeks via LHR. Unable to make my mind up whether to use BA or Qantas for the long legs. I’ve heard a few bad things of late of BA regarding the tired interiors, and there’s the threat of strikes. I’ve done a couple of dummy bookings and...

Arrived back from Ibiza yesterday (14/7) on LS 198 (G-LSAA). Flight was full. Aircraft was about half hour late arriving at LBA on stand 11 (1443). Took a few minutes for steps to arrive then 2 buses turned up. Both buses were loaded at the same time, one on the front door and the other on...

Pity Iron Maiden didn't bring in their 747 or is is still broken

I cant understand why there is no mention in the master plan to extend the terminal building out easterly over the bus shelter. It would lose some car parking places but the terminal could be extended to around stand 12, maybe not as far initially until capacity increases even more There would...

I dont know if anyone has noticed but there is a couple of items about LBA in Sept/Oct issue of Airports of the World. One is entitled "A day in the life of a Station Manager" which is about Jet2 ops and the other is about Inspiration at the Airport and ATC. Not had chance to read it properly...

Not all the BA 777 fleet have had the refurb yet, I flew out on one of the tired ones on 30th Sept from LHR to HKG. The flight was over an hour late setting off due to the aircraft scheduled to do the flight going u/s. Although I preferred the seats on that 777 compared to the new recaro type...

I arrived from Enfidha into Newcastle on Mon 8th June at about 2330. Aircraft was slightly early, parked on a remote stand. We must have waited 10 minutes for the bus to arrive for the transfer to the terminal. On arrival at the terminal went up the stairs to then join the big queue for...

Hi Galaxy, I am also looking at going over to Brisbane later this year. If you look at sites such as Momondo or Skyscanner they can give you good ideas on the pricing and different routes. You can also add filters eg length of flight, airlines, cost etc. One of the things I have noticed...

Went from LBA to Geneva with Easyjet last Thursday and it was only about two thirds full. They were still selling cheap seats on the flight 3 days before (£34.99). Came back on Sunday 22nd with Easyjet and that flight was almost full. Found the in-flight service coming back not up to scratch due...

Well planned out was this wasnt it. To hope that someone jumps into the gap pretty quick. Dont want to bleat on about the runway again but hasnt Luton had 777`s in doing Tel Aviv in the past, about same length as LBA. Newcastle`s runway is not much bigger than LBA and they see Emirates 777`s...

Why dont they just scrap or at least reduce the airport duty tax or whatever its called for regional airports. This will make it cheaper to travel from these airports and as a result will encourage other operators to the likes of LBA, Bristol and Newcastle. Too simple I suppose as it has to...

Booked LBA-LPA on 24th Mar rtn 31st with Jet2. It was Canaries or NYC but Canaries won as it was cheaper.

I have been looking at going to JFK in March and starting off from LBA. Going through Skyscanner I can get flights for about £410 via AMS, cheapest I can get going via LHR is coming up at over £470. Some of the flights are cheaper going LBA-AMS-CDG-JFK than LBA-LHR-JFK. If there is more than...
