Plan it in LYVR
Your LBA layover, planned to the minute.
Save your flights and LYVR finds the connection at LBA on its own, then times every part of it. From four hours before takeoff, tap your boarding pass to see your plane on a live map.
Every minute, accounted for.
Deplaning, every walk through the terminal, the checkpoints your connection passes and when the doors close. What's left is yours to plan.
Lounges you can actually get into.
Add your cards and memberships once. With LYVR Pro, every lounge at LBA shows whether you're in, and the live queue where there is one.
Directions that know which floor you're on.
Step-by-step directions from your gate to your next one. They follow the real hallways, tell you when to take an escalator, when to hop on the train between terminals and where you'll go through security again. Your route is ready the moment you tap Start.
Time to see Leeds?
Getting out, the ride each way, security on the way back and a cushion, checked against your passport. With LYVR Pro, a day in Leeds, planned.
Layover questions
LBA, answered.
Do I have to go through security again on a connection at LBA?
Flying on to another country, you usually stay past security at LBA, but you go through a quick security check again on the way to your next gate. If you change terminals, a transfer bus or train takes you there without leaving the secure area.
Can I check the security wait time at LBA?
LYVR doesn't have security wait times for LBA yet. It still times your walk between gates and through the terminal, so you can see how much of the layover is really free.
Which lounges at LBA can I use on a layover?
LYVR lists 3 lounges at LBA, 1 of them on Priority Pass. Which ones you can get into depends on your ticket, airline status, credit card or a lounge membership. Each lounge on this page lists what gets you in, and LYVR checks it against your own profile.
How much time do I need for a layover at LBA?
It depends on your terminals, whether you go through security or customs again, and how far apart the gates are. LYVR adds up deplaning, every walk through the terminal, any checkpoints your connection passes and the boarding door time, then shows exactly how much time you have to spare.
Is a 1 hour layover enough at LBA?
It's tight. Connecting to another country at LBA, you go through security again. Plan on 1.5 to 2 hours, and more on separate tickets. LYVR works out your exact time to spare for your own two gates.
What is there to do on a layover at LBA?
With an hour or two, eat near your gate and walk the terminal. With more, LBA's 3 lounges (1 on Priority Pass) have quiet seats, food and often showers. LYVR's Explore tab lists every restaurant, bar and shop near your gate with the walk time, so you only see what fits in your layover.
Can I leave the airport on a layover at LBA?
On a domestic connection, yes, with enough time. On an international one, only if you're allowed to enter the UK, since leaving LBA means going through passport control, and you'd want about 6 hours: the passport line both ways, the trip into Leeds and back, and security on the way in. LYVR checks the ride each way, the time you'd have in the city and your passport's entry rule.
