We flew back to LBA from ALC on Mon 16th.
Advised by RA to allow 3 hrs, at ALC everything was as normal but then our incoming flight delayed by 1hr 40 mins so a double whammy, 4 hrs to kill, we were actually in ALC airport before our plane took off from the UK.
All the issues appear to be at the UK airports, LBA at the moment is horrendous, huge queues at security both ways.
Our usual travel time home, door to door is app 7 hrs, Monday was 11 hrs, not helped by RA penny pinching and purchasing the cheapest gate possible, walking to the farthest corner of the airport, changing gates and then requiring shuttle buses to the plane at both ends.
We had a great stay at our holiday home but it was certainly no fun at all regarding the travel to and from Spain with Ryanair.
