It is what it is mate. For us who live in Leeds it a lifeline, saves us driving to MAN/EMA. Have flown from there 5 times this year and apart for a slight delay once due to security upgrade its been a smooth experience.

Absolutely true mate! For a major city like Leeds to have an airport like that is appalling! The worst thing is the location and lack of transport links….still in the 70s!

The airport was going to be modernised and extended but Leeds council refused planning permission,also it has been widely reported that security would be disrupted in December due to new equipment being installed

Well done to Lee for calling out these horrible dross airports and Leeds deserves better.

Hope you go and leave a special parcel at "Buddies" Doorstep 😂

You really did have an unfortunate start at the airport but least you arrived in Tenerife Enjoy your week there & great to see you back x👍

As someone from North Yorkshire, I am just thankful there is Leeds Bradford airport :), as after Manchester it can be difficult getting flights without having to travel too far.

Leeds is the largest city in western europe without a mass transit system. Probably got the most cycle lanes and bus lanes and 20mph speed limits though

Come on Lee, one would think it was your first trip to a hot country. Fancy arriving there wearing a "MacMaster" hoodie 😂 Have you not got a MacMaster T-shirt? Nice to see the little guy again.... Enjoy your holiday👍

Getting a strong sense of déjà vu at the end of the vlog 😂

They should have kept Doncaster Sheffield airport open.

In Lanzarote at the moment been here for 5 days and never seen a cloud 27° every day ..can't beat winter sunshine love it ...have a great week looking forward to the next update

No matter how many times I see your travel videos - I love em! Great vlog and loved the music again.

I fly from LBA quite a bit and personally haven't had that many problems. I always get fast track through security and so far it seems to have worked OK. My last time from LBA was at the end of September and I'll be flying from there again next month to Lanzarote. They are also starting on a much needed £100 million extension and redevelopment of the terminal. I was also in Tenerife in June and had a great time 😃

Exactly It’s not the best but is it really terrible? No Watched another vlogger fly to canaries from there the other day and he breezed through security He flew around midday though so a bit later than Lee and the airport looked very quiet. Said it took him 5 mins to go through security

The trouble with Leeds is there is nowhere to develop plus the runway is short and in the wrong direction. It was never designed to have regular jet aircraft operations. What they should have done is develop Doncaster Airport. But instead they are building houses on it. In the meantime there is zero appetite to develop aviation in Britain. It’s like living in a third world country when you compare our airports to places in other countries. It’s such a shame and very frustrating.

I love seeing you both buddies together. Have fun guys

Totall agree . I used it twice before i discovered Doncaster Airport which was a little gem but unfortunatly has closed now.

I couldn't agree more. The last three times we've travelled to Leeds from Toronto, we've flown direct to Manchester and taken the train to Leeds, and flown to LBA via. Amsterdam and Dublin. The experiences we've had at LBA have on arriving and departing have been less than pleasant. We will fly into Manchester going forward and take a cab to Leeds. Also if you want to see what also reflects negatively on the city. you should visit the LNER first class lounge in Leeds railway station, it's abysmal and filthy.

Leeds has no long-haul scheduled flights so travellers have to change planes anyway. Good point re LNER but rail lounges (both here and in mainland Europe) cannot compete with what airports offer (even if it's below par).

The way you explained Leeds Bradford Airport takes me back to a Comedy sketch by Hale & Pace called Yorkshire Airways its funny 😂😂😂

Spanish police in Tenerife arrested 17 airport employees for stealing from passengers' luggage. Almost 2 million euro in loot confiscated. If you're missing anything... ;-)

Luton Airport is the worst SHITE HOLE ever for us in NW LONDON. My luggage left off the Carousel more than 2 hours.. My heart rate went up 300%. A HOLOES... JW BLACK is 23 quid at local Tesco compared to 24 Quid at your airport. OKAY 1 Litre so prob good value

Keep up the good work Lee.👍

The jet engine sounded a but rough. For the return journey they will have the worlds first long-distance Electric Plane! And emergency boat for when they can't charge in-flight😂😂

Jet2 are brilliant! I’ve flown with them for over 30 years (under 2 other airline names before Jet2 came about) and never had a single problem. Their main base is Leeds. And their customer service is great. It’s been awesome to see their business grow and fleet expand…. Nice to see a local company doing good for itself and standing the test of time. 😊

Love your comment regarding Leeds Bradford airport you are right it’s a shame that Leeds council can’t get a grip on what could be a great airport

Great Video Lee

those lunge at the airport are not 1st class lounges, they are Priority Pass/Dragon Pass lounges..... GBP 20 does not buy much these days. Most times you are better off getting a Meal-Deal and sit somewhere airside. The lounges are run by 3rd parties and NOT the airport. Always best to look up reviews on lounges.

Glad someone said it! 7 quid a pint at the airport bars so hardly takes much to get your money back I bet 90% of people booking them either want somewhere quiet to guarantee a place to work before a flight or will have 3 or 4 drinks in which case it covers the lounge It’s hardly 1st class is it

Never had any problems at LBA , I went into Yorkshire lounge last March, went from Manchester couple of weeks ago

Ahh Daniel bless him hope He's doing great, and his Mrs, you need to get darren john over there and catch up with rick and shelley, have a great time xx

We are heading to Tenerife for 4 nights on Thursday, heading to Los Cristianos! Would be great to meet you there!

Love your videos lee. Can i please ask 1 thing of you... please eat at jade stone restaurant, you will not be dissapointed, i was only there for 5 nights and went back a 2nd time because the food was sooo amazing! Would love to see you review this place

Hello Lee, I do enjoy your travel videos ... they are so objective. Yes catering in The Yorkshire Lounge was below par. Manchester would have better lounges because it's served by prestige carriers like Cathay Pacific, Emirates and SIA. These airlines would not tolerate their best passengers having to use inferior lounges. Leeds has no long-haul flights ... yes it has KLM but the latter is just short-haul to Amsterdam.

Just watching the video Lee....... I predict a visit to a Bradford chippie soon for fish n chips 😂 I've used the lounge at East Midlands loads of times and I agree it looks much better than that lounge. I'm off to Tenerife in weeks myself for some winter vitamin D

Hi Lee catching up and I was thinking to myself I bet hes off to either Tenerife or Benidorm before Christmas 🎄 and I was right lol

Great video, I'm currently in mucky Blackpool till Friday lol 👍

Looking tanned already 🤣❤️ Please do some old style Macmaster 🎥

They are demolishing it and rebuilding and about time too. Recently flew out of Manchester T3 and have to say it wasn’t much better

Must admit you are correct about the bad drivers in Bradford’s nobody ever uses there indicators lol

Enjoy your holiday Lee.❤

My new name for you …….The RantMaster. Love it though😎 Enjoy you break

Hi Lee We would have loved to meet you just come back from tenerife love the 3 Xmas trees out side the jacaranda

Darlington Tees Valley is pretty rough too. Dont try getting the train to the airport.

This is music to my ears 😂, The sooner DSA is reopened the better, DSA, DSA, DSA 😁

Hi Lee. I was on your flight. I agree Security was a nightmare, although you weren’t in the First Class Lounge. The first class lounge is 1432 Runway where I was. Full English available and excellent service. It would have cost you a bit more though. Have a good week

Cracking flight vid ,don't blame you getting out of the depressing UK ✈️

In December 1642 Bradford was besieged by the Royalist army, under the Earl of Newcastle. The Earl stayed with Sir Richard Tempest at Bolling Hall looking down on this small town from the hill above it. During the night the Earl was awakened by feeling the bedclothes being pulled off him. There, by his bed, stood a Ghostly figure wringing its hands and saying, "Pity Poor Bradford!" (Over and over.) Was that ghostly figure one of your ancestors Macmaster?

That £20 airport breakfast looked shockingly bad, a ropy piece of bacon, what looked like luke warm baked beans and piece of toast and a bap or balm as you say up north. I’ve seen better breakfasts out of Morrisons Cafe. Never flown from Leeds Bradford but from the stories I’ve heard…I’ll leave it there. Nice to see you meet with The Craicmaster again. Enjoy sunny warm Tenerife.

Great vlog Lee Lee gonna make a point of flying Jet2 next year and if LBA is that bad I do wonder why Jet2 are not doing anything about it as LBA is their home base and I would have thought they would want to be proud of it so hopefully you may have started a revolution (notice the cheap pun in there ) with this vlog but roll on more Tenerife vlogs 😊😊😊😊

When you said the worst City Airport, I thought you were going to go from Blackpool! Then, at the landing, there was an AA van waiting for you - really confidence inspiring! - - No idea what the stew said, she sounded like she had a peg on her nose! - -

Jet2 are our favourite airline and are our first choice if possible, we like to go to Crete & Greece with them.
