Ryanair Flights from Leeds Bradford
 
I am sure that last year Ryanair ran flights from LBA all through the winter to Faro. At the moment they stop early November and I don't seem to be able to find out if they plan to load them up last minute. I have yet to go on a Ryanair flight from Leeds that has not been full so I am surprised if they have decided to withdraw it. Does anyone have any info?

Although I don't use LBA, I seem to recall this topic arose last winter because Ryanair reduced or stopped the LBA schedule to Faro.

I'm sure there will be someone on the Forum who uses the airport will know the answer.

Hello,
Yes ryan air did fly from Leeds all last winter ,but not this year , I think we have lost the flights unless they prove me wrong and suddenly upload them, I think Jet2 also flew last winter but they also stop beg.Nov till April 2013 ,
Monarch are flying from Leeds starting end of March 2013 but not such good times and much more expensive, I have flown from Leeds about 7 times this year and only 1 flight was full, came out on 29th Aug flight wasn't full so I guess thats why they are stopping, just hoping that they will fly during summer. Flights also cut from East Midlands having to use EM for November flight, If I find any more info will post here can you do same.:)

Yes been keeping my eyes open. Manchester seems the best option for me but I feel so sad about it as it was so convenient from Leeds as I only live 20 mins away.

Are Monarch flying Faro to Leeda over winter? They're not quite as cheap as Ryanair but service is generally better (not difficult, I know!) and they are still much cheaper than the non-budget airlines

I know they have just introduced a Faro/East Midlands route which has much more winter choice of dates than the Ryanair, same route.

Worth checking out anyway

Use skyscanner and it will give you route suggestions for indirect flights .Not always expensive

Hi All

I have just checked Skyscanner against Ryanair and the prices don't all match there is a difference with some flights going to Liverpool. So double check to get the best deals.

Skyscanner isn't always up to date if you look it will say checked so many hours ago but if you click on it gets you a live price. Not always perfect but has its uses. They also have a smartphone app

Still no flights from Leeds - I have been looking too. It looks like Manchester or Liverpool now. Adds an hour and a half to the journey.
