New study has claimed that Leeds Bradford Airport has the worst security queues in the UK with some passengers waiting for over an hour.
Consumer company Which? asked 1,300 people who passed through a UK airport between the months of February and August 2022 how long they had to queue for security.
According to those asked, Leeds Bradford Airport had the longest wait times with flyers spending an average of 35 minutes in the queue for security.
Twenty seven percent of those surveyed said they were waiting for more than an hour at LBA, compared with just five per cent of passengers overall.
Other UK airports that saw travellers report wait times of over an hour include Bristol (17 per cent of respondents), Birmingham (11 per cent), and Manchester (8 per cent).

Overall, seven per cent of travellers said they had missed a flight due to being stuck in a terribly long queue.
City Airport in East London came out as the best performing airport, with an average security queue lasting just 12 minutes and as many as 50 per cent of travellers reporting wait times of between just five and ten minutes.
Commenting on the survey, a spokesperson for LBA said: "Earlier this year, like many airports across the UK, we had periods of long queuing due to the rapid resumption of international travel after the lifting of pandemic restrictions. We were transparent about these difficulties at the time and worked hard to address those short-term issues."

Guy Hobbs, editor of Which? Travel, commented: "Travellers this year have borne the brunt of unprecedented chaos at UK airports, with huge numbers enduring long queues and some even missing a flight due to excessive wait times to clear security. Your choice of airport shouldn’t make or break your holiday – but for too many travellers this year, that has been the case."
Silver's Deli is opening up a sister shop, and this time it's about everything baked.
We all know and love Silver's Deli for their stacked subs and breakfast sandwiches that could cure any hangover no matter how severe.
They're so good, that they even bagged the coveted Uber Eats Restaurant of the Year Award last year.
And rightly so, because Silver's is absolutely class.
And it seems there's just no stopping Silver's, as they've just announced that they'll be opening a sister shop named Silver's Bakehouse serving up everything, yep you guessed it, baked.
It'll also be in Farsley where the original Silver's is, and they're labelling the new venture as 'your neighbourhood bake shop'.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Silver's Deli said: "Well it’s happening. I said no more shops, but it’s kinda necessary, and I just love all things baked.
"There’s waaaaaaaaay too many details to share on this right now, but go give our sister shop @silvers_bakehouse a new follow and hold on tight. This is gonna be fun as fuck."

Customers can expect a wider range of Silver's goodies that they're unable to whip up in the current space. From soft amaretti biscuits and their famous cookies to sausage rolls and brownies that the team have been working on for 12 months.
We're in no doubt that this venture is going to be absolutely brilliant, and you best believe we'll be first in line to try one of those brownies.
Silver's Bakehouse will be located on Town Street in Farsley and is expected to open this May.
