Having just made my first visit to NQY via BMI Baby, have to say a bit disappointed.
Firstly an airfield approach aid failing in very poor vis, resulting in holding for 20 minutes. Then having landed, being kept on board for a further 30 minutes, due to NQY only handling one aircraft at a time.
A £5 fee charged to use the arrivals/departure sheds takes the biscuit.
On departure, nobody at the gate checked boarding cards with any ID which I thought was a UK DoT regulation. Even then, a lady bound with WOW to LGW mangaged to board the flight to MAN, fortunately, at least the Baby crew were on the ball - even though they looked slightly bored.
NQY, probably not top of my list to revisit unless it was absolutely essential. Hope you spend my fiver wisely !!
