Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL)
 Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL) ... known as Speke Airport and RAF Speke, the airport is located adjacent to the estuary of the River Mersey some 7.5 miles (12 km) south-east of the centre of Liverpool.Newest Review: ... eating before travelling to the airport. Perhaps the main slip-up at John Lennon Airport is the handling of increased security, now a common factor at all UK airports (in theory). The security checks here are similar to Manchester International, i.e. inadequate, but the tiny customs area at the airport leads to massive queues at rush hour times. Flying on the early morning service to Belfast ... more ... presented me with a queue that stretched the length of the departures lounge, though it did diminish fairly quickly. Still half the time of an average wait at Manchester.

Liverpool John Lennon Airport (formerly Liverpool Speke Airport) is a refreshingly modern and hassle-free location for traveling. The airport is mainly served by low-fare airlines like EasyJet and Ryanair, meaning that the focus here is getting people in and out on time. The airport has a few shops and restaurants, a small WH Smith store which sells mainly books and magazines along with a the standard tacky gambling arcade and faux-Irish pub.

The new airport terminal recently opened and has now transformed what was no more than a glorified cargo shed into a shining example of a modern airport. Yes the first phase of the new terminal is open and you can not fail to be impressed. there are four times as many check in desks and the facilities within are much improved. The airport looks classy and you can see that the £30 million has been well spent. Allied this with the fact that this is considered to be one of Easyjets strategic hubs then we can be optimistic of further expansion and more destinations from this airport. Easyjet have just started a very popular Paris route ...
