James Says
Along with Birmingham International, Leeds Bradford is one of only a handful of airports in the world that charges a fee for drivers wishing to drop off passengers at the terminal. The jobsworths are watching, so don't even think about slyly slipping into the taxi rank!
Mark Says
Fact fans – With an elevation of 208 metres, Leeds Bradford is the highest airport in England. Mind you, I bet even the proudest Yorkshireman will feel slightly inadequate on hearing that the world's highest airport - Qamdo Bamda in Tibet - is situated 4,334 metres above sea level!
