How early should I get to Leeds Bradford Airport? Plus how to fast track security

Leeds Bradford Airport issued an urgent message to holidaymakers about long queues after recent scenes at Manchester Airport with passengers stuck in queues missing their flights.

Staff shortages are causing huge issues, meaning it takes passengers longer to move through the airport - and while LBA chief executive Vincent Hodder has said disruption at Leeds is 'not as severe' as at other airports, he has warned the situation is not 'up to our high standards'.

Due to industry-wide challenges including Covid-related sickness and shortage of staff, some flights have been cancelled and some passengers have even missed their flights due to the long waiting times. So if you've got a flight from LBA coming up, this is when you should arrive at the airport - and how you can Fast Track the long security queues.
