we departed from leeds bradford last october I found the experience good.Its a small airport by comparison to others we have departed from. The staff were friendly the queue for securitywent smoothly no real hassle.The food in the main restaurant upstairs was not that great Not good value for money .It was a snowy day the day we travelled and the plane needed to be deiced before we left this was done quite quickly and with no delay.We flew with a low cost airline to prague for a few days . The airport is fine to get to no hold ups along the way. the small shops in the airport are great for those last minute items but like all airport shops a bit pricey. I would fly from leeds bradford again as it is a good alternative to manchester or liverpool I like small airports as they are easy to get through and dont have millions of people hanging about its just in and out and up and away.regional airports are better than your big ones more personal with helpful staff who have time for you.
