Delays, queues and cancellations all turned out to be true
Since the country lifted from lockdown and the travel industry began to reopen in its entirety, holidaymakers have been reporting 'chaos' at airports as they try to get away.
With many people getting out on their first overseas holiday this year since before the pandemic - it's understandable that people are stressed by the reports from airports right now. I joined the queue, and hoped it wouldn't be one of these two plus-hour queues some holidaymakers have been complaining about at airports. We moved through the airport slowly, but what I did note that a staff member was consistently combing the queues to check no one was stranded in them from boarding flights - so there does seem to be measures in place to stop people missing flights.
Many flights going out seemed to be at least a little bit delayed in boarding, so it wasn't particularly surprising when mine turned out to be too. We were initially delayed in heading to the gate. Once the gate was announced, boarding happened steadily. It's worth pointing out this obviously isn't just Leeds Bradford and Jet2 - my friends were flying another airline to and from Bristol Airport, and experienced similar delays to me. It was a long night of waiting a long time in an extra security line to get to my gate at Dalaman, and then having to wait on the plane again - we were told this was due to earlier delays on the route between Dalaman and Leeds.
So in conclusion - my advice would be to head to the airport early and prepare for delays as you head out on your summer holidays. Queues and delays aren't the end of the world - just consider them in your plans for when you arrive etc.
