Now looking to send the Mrs on a same day return on her own.
Current best option (within England) is Leeds. Arrives 8:40am and comes back 9:25 - is this easily doable? (Obviously will check in online for both). When arriving is is easy to exit at arrivals and go up to departures or is there a transfers lane she should follow? Are there any particular airports which are ideal for this kind of same day return?
I know there are other threads on this but struggling on my mobile device! Many thanks for your help!
Yes, should be fine. See
this thread for some comments.
Basically you will have to exit landside and go through security again, but LBA is a small airport. When you exit from the baggage hall to landside turn right and follow the building around. You will pass the check in desks and come to security. Use fast track security. Once through up one floor, follow the corridor but turn left through the duty free shop before you get to burger king, once through the shop pass the waiting area for gate 9 on your right. BA flight usually goes from gate 7 which is passed the Yorkshire Premier Lounge and around the corner. If you are at or towards the front of the aircraft and therefore quickly off I would expect you to get all the way around before all the passengers have come off. You should have at least 10 minutes buffer time before they start boarding.
