Leeds Bradford Airport issues key advice to passengers before big weekend summer getaway

Leeds Bradford Airport has issued some key advice on when you should arrive at the airport before your flight.

According to the airport, you should not arrive any earlier than three hours before your flight. Their full statement read: "If you're due to travel from Leeds Bradford Airport soon, our official guidance is to ARRIVE NO EARLIER THAN THREE HOURS BEFORE YOUR FLIGHT DEPARTURE TIME."

This comes after months of disruption at Leeds Bradford and other airports across the country as passengers return after the Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, many passengers have been turning up to airports even earlier than normal to try to make sure they can get on their flight despite the long queues.

Even longer queues to get through the airport has been the result, leaving many frustrated. In May the queues led to multiple complaints as people branded the airport the "worst in the UK".

@Brad7Lee said: "For anyone coming to #leedsbradfordairport it really is as bad as people are saying. 3 hours at least this morning for security."

@ramjam1973 added: "Huge queues at #leedsbradfordairport for security, Get there early even for fast track." Another passenger, who did not wish to be named, said: “I've been to this airport many times before and never seen queues quite like it - it really is as busy as everyone has been saying. Not the most thrilling thing to have to do on the way to a much-anticipated holiday."

Queues have been seen since then as well with the airport hoping this new advice will help to keep the queuing down to a minimum.
