Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LJLA) is gearing up for a busy Easter Bank Holiday weekend with over 60,000 passengers expected to pass through the Airport as travelers from across the region jet off to a host of destinations during the first Bank Holiday weekend of the year.
Travelers from across the North West and North Wales will be taking advantage of the Airport’s faster, easier and friendlier passenger experience with the increase in flights and choice of destinations from Liverpool, following the start of the Summer 2025 season a few weeks ago.
Despite the recent sunny spell at home, the lure of warmer weather and some much needed Mediterranean sunshine once again dominates the list of top 10 destinations expected to be the most popular with passengers flying from Liverpool this Easter, with flights to Dublin, Alicante, Malaga, Faro, Palma, Belfast, Tenerife, Arrecife, Antalya and Barcelona expected to be the busiest.
With the latest generation security equipment having now been installed at the airport, passengers no longer need to place their liquid items in small plastic bags with all liquids and large electronics such as laptops and iPads, now all able to remain in hand luggage. Size restrictions do still remain however, with liquids in containers up to 100ml only being permitted.
Passengers travelling with easyJet, Jet2 and Ryanair and departing on flights before 08:00, have the added flexibility of being able to check in their hold luggage up to 3 hours before their departure, giving more time to relax and make use of the new facilities in the Departure Lounge.
Robin Tudor, Head of PR for Liverpool John Lennon Airport commented:
“Easter is always the first really busy period of the year for the airport and with even more flights and destinations available for passengers from across the North West and North Wales, we look forward to welcoming thousands of passengers though the airport.
Those passing through will also be able to take advantage of a number of new and improved food and beverage facilities in the Departure Lounge too, following our multi-million pound development works over the winter.”
