i prefer LBA to man any time,in my opinion and i use LBA a lot from touch down through security and baggage re claim 30mins then 40mins to home and i dont find the terminal depressing at all.

I would suspect who you're flying with has an impact too.
The last time we arrived into LBA late in the evening with Jet2 last summer, we were dumped on a remote stand and waited on-board for well over an hour whilst Swissports' only serviceable bus that day offloaded another two flights.
Conversely we've arrived on BA, disembarked via an airbridge, cleared security and been on the bus to the Train Station in under 20 minutes.

hopefully it's a hangar...

My closest is the "delight" of NCL. However, prices and all, it was just last week I returned through LBA with Jet2. The Wednesday morning flight down to ALC and back the following week. Other than a Go Around with the weather on return (to which I must say the crew handled perfectly), as soon as the plane was on the blocks the stairs were there, straight in and up the escalator, and through the border in no more than 5mins. Reclaim certainly less than 10. It really must depend on the handlers - in my case I must say the same, self-handling was spot on.
Leeds' facilities really aren't that bad - compact yes, but grim not at all. The terminal was clean, plenty of windows on the way through and down to the gates. Must have been some time since you were last through

I have to agree with Jet2 738 - I use EDI or GLA mostly but LBA from time to time and always find it quite agreeable, clean and the facilities okay, certainly not the grimmest airport I have used, that must be some European airport. UK airports on the whole are fine, including LBA.

GJZHF
I see that GJZHF is in service today flying on LS251/LS252 from Leeds to Faro, it's first commercial flight for Jet2. Anyone know which livery this aircraft carries?
Any updates on when the other 3 new B737-800's will be in service?

Jet2.com and Jet2holidays Go BIG in Belfast
As expected, Jet2 and Jet2holidays have announced their 'Biggest ever flights and holidays programme' for Summer 2017.
Belfast routes are set to increase by a 10% growth year on year, with a new destination, Girona. The new flights will operate twice weekly - a total of 82 weekly flights between the two cities. Increases are also on LPA and REU, with a total 280,000 seats available.
The announcement comes alongside the extensions of the flying programme for 2017, meaning routes to FAO, PMI and IBZ with be flown earlier than previous years. (Maybe something to do with filling up the new a/c and sending them out to earn their keep)
At this time, only BFS S17 has been released for both Jet2 and Jet2holidays, with the rest of the UK to follow shortly
