Flew LDY-BHX yesterday (Saturday). First of all the flight was rammed...and I mean, there were no available seats at all on board. No seat restrictions for takeoff. Great to see......BUT
.......what wasn't so great was the fact I arrived at 14.45 for a 16.05 flight, but didn't actually get through security until nearly 15.35!!!! Crazy!! The reason? Two full RYR flights (therefore about 370 pax) leaving the airport within 30 minutes of each other and only one baggage scanning machine working.
It must be a complete nightmare for staff (and pax) on a Tuesday (for example) when flights leave for three RYR destinations and one Thomson route within 90 minutes.
Great wee airport. Great staff. But bloody hell, the infrastructure needs looking at ASAP.
Still handier for me than any other NI airport.............
