Hi All
Went up to LBA (Leeds/Bradford Airport) this afternoon, as the weather was really nice and the sun was out for once. Thatโs after the snow and Hail from Yesterday. How things change in 24 hours. Anyway Hereโs some pic’s I took between 15:30 and 16:30.

How about going for a couple of days? About the best fare I could find was 12th-13th July, ยฃ147.96! Sure we could find a decent priced hotel in Benalmadena?
I think it only cost me around 110 quid last time I had a day there!
Hmm… I’m sure I could cope with another trip to Benalmadena! Definately something to consider ๐

Would love to mate! However, trying to find a decent fare for a Jet2 flight of LBA to AGP is very hard, we definitly should of considered/booked this alot earlier!

Great shots there. I like the 757 takeoff pic. I may have been the only one to notice but why is the fire engine spraying water in the Citation pic??

Just wondering lbaspotter, can you confirm/tell me otherwise that today was the first proper day of summer schedules, and that the Jet2 757’s will always be used like that? Am I right in thinking they were used on flights to AGP, ALC, PMI and FAO?

Take them with a webcam did you? ๐
Only joking, nice shots! Still love that Channex livery
