🅿️ Parking & Transport: Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA)

[LBAYORKIE]

I see Which? have assessed Sentinel as the best off-site parking in the whole country in this months magazine. 'Streets ahead of its rivals' was one comment in a review laced with superlatives.

 

[Seasider]

I always use Sentinel, that reminds me to book for next months trip to Italy.

 

[752]

I prefer using LBA in house ones, think it is contributing more to the revenue of LBA.

 

[Seasider]

I don't like paying more for an inferior service.

Suppose it depends on what car park you use. I tend to use Short Stay or Meet And Greet, so not really sure how driving up close the terminal and self parking, is inferior to getting a bus that runs and then collecting your car.. id say it was a lot better/quicker 🙂

 

[Seasider]

I must admit I was comparing the long term parking, and which is far more expensive than Sentinel (in my experience) and (depending where you park) further from the Terminal.
If you use short stay/Meet & Greet, I would imagine that it would be a lot more expensive.

I have just checked for my trip next month (1 week), the Airport "Meet & Greet" is twice the price of Sentinel.

I must say I didn't realise how big their parking lot is.

I'm sure it is but the price is not what I go off. I prefer a superior and quick service at meet and greet. all personal preference.

And I bet it fails to say the is a free 1 hour pick up & drop off area just a short walk away from the terminal

The BBC just covered this and yes they failed to mention it.

Funny that as there was an article yesterday saying that Bristol charges the highest fees outside of London.

The report did mention the free drop off point

Im hoping the airport are asked to comment and strike home the fact there is a free drop off area. Would be good to see a report comparing the convenience of drop off areas at different airports, I think Leeds would come out of that very well.

 

[radar]

Airports continue to have drop-off fees, and inflation is a thing. Hold the front page!!

 

[Seasider]

It always amazes me that people will willingly pay thousands of pounds on a holiday and then complain about £7 to drop off at the terminal front when there is a free drop off not much further away.

 

[LsS27]

Perhaps the person dropping them off has it to pay

 

[Seasider]

I'm glad I don't have any friends that would expect me to pay the drop off fee as well as taking them there for nothing.

Can I become one of your friends please Seasider? I live in Ilkley and I am more than happy for you to pick me up and drop me off free of charge and I’ll pay the £7 drop off fee and then we're both happy.

You think LBA is bad….

Not everyone can manage the “short walk” from the free drop-off point. That includes my daughter.
I thought I’d mention it.
