Please check the CAA stats before you presume LBA has rather a lot of diversions.
Please also check the Leeds Expansion 2 opening thread.
But to answer your comments...........
It is easy to look at the road distances between places and work out the approximate time it will take to get from A to B.
What this doesn't tell you is the fact that most of your journey accross the pennines will probably be a 50 mph drag and stop start. The weather will probably be atrocious. Remember not to travel on a bank holiday because your journey could take as long as three hours. "I was stuck in that one".The M60 floods at the Middleton junction when it rains causing the motorway to be closed. You'll probably get stuck in a traffic jam tailback at Stockport and then it'll take you another half hour to find your off site carpark before you even get to the terminal. Not to forget, your hiking boots to get you to the departure gate when you've checked in.
DSA will probably a better run, if your up for it at 40 odd miles. Beware of the treck down the A1, this can be tricky. Mind the tractors! But hay this is Leeds' new LOCAL airport right??
The latest passenger figures prove that people want to fly from LBA and that LBA is a success.
