TikTok's Katylee has given an insight into what it is like to fly from Leeds Bradford Airport amid claims it is "chaos."
Holidaymakers planning to jet off over the Platinum Jubilee weekend have spoken out about the "biblical" queues - which have been lengthy since around April, although yesterday some reported that the situation was improving. Taking to Twitter, @JDyson984 said: "Credit, where credit is due. Arrived @LBIAirport expecting absolute carnage. @Ryanair staff very helpful, sailed through security and hardly any queues. Not bad at all. #LeedsBradfordAirport."
For weeks, "shambles" and snaking long queues have been seen trailing through the airport, leaving passengers waiting outside, - most often for morning flights departing between 6am and 9am. On Saturday, passengers said the situation seemed to have calmed, and some said they managed to get through security in eight minutes - a far cry from when Katylee departed from the airport on Thursday.

@MartheHR said: "It took me a grand total of 8min to get through security at 6:30am #LeedsBradfordAirport." And @AmyMilner14 said: "Flying from #leedsbradfordairport today. Arrived 4:50 was through bag drop and fast track security by 5.15 - no queues outside now. Jet2 bringing people forward."
Last month LBA chief executive Vincent Hodder asked people to come to Leeds Bradford "no earlier than three hours" before their scheduled departure time. Mr Hodder has said that people arriving early for their flights is leading to a "blow-out of queues".
Katylee was one of those passengers. She took to TikTok and posted a video on Thursday showing her outside of the airport at sunrise. Lizzo's song, "Rumours" played as she panned the camera around to show the snaking queues. The caption on top of the video read: "For everyone wondering what Leeds Bradford airport is like..." She then uploaded the video and posted a caption alongside it that read: "Check in was done in 5/10 mins… security on the other hand… #LeedsBradfordAirport ✈️"
Katylee is known as one of the country's most recognisable TikTok stars, following the fallout from her breakup with fellow TikTokker Libby Mae.
