Has the announced closure of Pontins anything to do with possible expansion at the airport?
I myself am a local and would be gutted if jet2 pull out and the airport sold for building.
Hi, I second that as another local who uses Blackpool Airport,but lets not forgat its a local who wants to build the houses

Would i travel from this airport again? Most definitely.
Only trouble is, they have now stopped flying to Mahon, oh well Leeds Bradford it has to be then.

Hya , flying to murcia from Blackpool this sunday and am having a slight memory relapse ! Is there a newsagents after security ? its been a couple of years since we last flew from here and I seem to have convinced myself the newsagents was near the check-in bit ?
Hi, yes it is near check-in, I think they also sell newspapers in duty free, hope you have a good holiday
Thanks for that margaret, wondered if it was still the case
Hello, me again !! sorry for the questions ! How likely is it that the car park will be full this sunday morning ? aiming to arrive around 5 am for our 7 am flight, just been a bit concerned reading a few posts back about this.
When I was there last week, the car parks were busy, but not full. Give it another week though once schools break up, and they'll be heaving.

Is the layout still the same with the Car Parks as this time last year Darren? I'm flying on 1st Sept for 2 weeks away, last year i went around the same time, and had to park in the field (Overspill Carpark), quite some way from the terminal. If so, its wise to allow 30 mins extra to find a space and then to walk to the terminal.
The car parks are the same as last year, no change. The overspill was partly busy last week too. You can see it the background of this photo.

Just hoping for better luck this time. Last year my flight back to Blackpool got diverted mid air to Bordeaux, and a replacement was sent for us, we arrived several hours late, then when i trekked back to my car...the darn battery was flat! I had to call the AA, who sent out a local chap to get me going, by which time the place was closing, and the security chap was coming round to switch off the overspill lighting, once he saw me, he said he'd leave the light on nearest me so that the recovery chap could see me, and he would keep an eye out for me at the car park barriers in case my ticket had expired...it was past midnight by the time i left! Was glad to hit my bed that night!!

I'm flying to Alicante on the 10am flight this Saturday 4th December for 5 nights. I've checked the Airport website & it seems all flights ok at present, but someone said they heard of some problems at the Airport this morning on the radio, but they didn't really listen to what they were.
I'd heard there may be some severe weather perhaps to come tomorrow, so i guess checking back online then will be better.
Any thoughts on how busy the Main Car Park is liable to be this time of year? Many Thanks.

Operations at Blackpool are running as normal with flights pretty much on time. We've not had much snow up here and apart from people panicing about a light dusting, travel has been fine. All flights are currently on schedule. There's some snow forecast tomorrow so we'll have to see what happens but everything is fine at the moment. Have a look at Blackpool Internationals website for the latest information. I've been out in it for the last 2 days and had no problems. 'Severe' and 'extreme' are relative terms and what we've had up here isn't anywhere near that when you think what Scotland, the east and south east of the country have had. The airport isn't busy so no problems with parking either.

At least it looks like i'll get on the main car park then, which i'd much prefer really, particularily in inclement weather!

BLK's website has the latest information on it so is the best source of information. I've been sat by the runway with the website live on my phone and the aircraft have arrived as per the website (also had it on comms too!). The motorway network has been kept clear, the M65, M6 and M55 have been fine. The authorties have been working their socks off around the clock to keep things moving. Don't let what the media have been showing suggest otherwise for central and west Lancs. Blackpool has had little snow, even central and east Lancs has been fine on the main routes. It's been laughable around here at some of the pancing over the last 48 hours when in reality, we've had a few flakes! Wait until the real snow arrives, then watch the panic! The forecast is light snow tomorrow for Blackpool turning to drizzle in the evening. You should be fine.

Cheers for that Darren.....Much Appreciated!

Must admit I had a chuckle when a work colleague told me all about how on Tuesday afternoon in their 'one street' village they'd organised a communal mass dig-out, clearing the banks of snow thrown up by the snowploughs across the bottoms of everyone's drives only to pull the curtains back on Wednesday morning to discover that there'd been another heavy fall, the snowploughs ahd been down the main street and everybody had another great bank of snow blocking their drives off again! I think they've decided to give up and rely on the buses given that the ploughs are doing such a good job at keeping the road clear
