Good afternoon ladies 'n' gents.

Tomorrow I am flying from that oasis of weather-calm Leeds Bradford - and outside my home in north Leeds right now something of a hurricane is whipping itself into a frenzy.

I was just wondering what the take off might be like if (and its only an if, I know) this wind keeps up? I'll be on a Jet2 bird so presumably a 73 or 75 (heading into Dusseldorf).

LBA is often choppy even when all is calm elsewhere so any thoughts appreciated - I am a nervous flyer, not scared, just a bit warey so like to be prepared if in for a bumpy ride !

Cheers one and all - happy flying.

Don't forget, you always have your "paper bag".....:E
Seriously, you won't feel a thing, especially after the 3rd GnT :D
