Just passed through security, At 15.45 the queue was all the way back to the entrance in where the outside canopy is, took 30mins to pass through security but the queue flowed well and security was organised well, busiest ive seen the airport which ia good. Hot and sweaty in the old terminal but air con working well in the new part!

Anything new to report on in departures?

It still is partly there which causes really awkward flow, I must say having only 2 bars in the airport is poor, I was there yesterday it took us half an hour to get drinks at Tap and Brew with the queue going outside of the restaurant, we then opted for Burger King which was not quick at all taking 15 minutes, security is very good and fast with lots of staff. It’s a shame Monty’s bar couldn’t have opened for summer as it is desperately needed.

It is frustrating but we have to expect less facilities to be available until the REGEN is completed. Fingers crossed only few weeks before the new security opens along with the new Duty Free.

I understand Eurocontrol has been suffering delays.

Eurocontrol has NOP Normal Operating Procedures but it is experiencing an elevated number of delays today due to congestion.

Some flights seem to be departing but just noted a gatwick bound easyjet flight has pulled back to stand.

I just updated my previous post.

My flight from Pisa to Stansted (not my decision to fly from STN) on Friday managed to get a 2 hour delay due to ATC delays on all the sectors adding up, including an extra 30 minute slot delay on my flight itself

Landed 1900 so 1hr5mins late so overall not too bad.

I’ve a FR LBA-REU flight booked for the 12th August to go and watch the total eclipse but I’ve had cold feet with the timings so have booked an earlier flight from LPL to
REU with Jet2 for that morning. The eclipse reaches totality around 19:30 in Reus, hopefully it’ll be cloud free but we can’t control that. Then I’m on the 22:00L FR REU-DUB and the first DUB-LBA on the Thursday morning.

There’s an even better eclipse on the 2nd August next year mid morning crossing Gibraltar, southern Spain, Tunisia and Egypt. I’ve booked 4 nights in Djerba with easyJet holidays already.

@LBAYORKIE you sent a message accidentally through the report system about buses from stand 5-6 area to the arrivals hall. I don't think their is a suitable route along the airside road for passenger pedestrians. Once fully completed the old arrivals corridor will be used for arrival and departure passengers as it will become fully connected to the new arrivals hall.

Strange! I dont have any interest in buses, are you sure it was me?

Sounds to me like someone may need some coaching!

Sorry, it was me. I thought I was replying to a post. I had understood from ACC feedback that bus movements had reduced to almost zero since the extension opened last year as most pax were now walking to the aircraft. I 'assumed' that buses were now only used to service remote stands, which 5 and 6 are not.
