Emmerdale Flights To Prague

[modeste]

Why did Debbie Dingle go to Robin Hood airport for flights to Prague, they all seem to be via Amsterdam and Paris, surely she could have got flights from Leeds/Bradford.

The writers probably simply thought "Emmerdale is meant to be in Yorkshire. Does anyone know of any airports in the county?". They then never bothered to check which flights operate from the one which somebody suggested. Accuracy in detail in TV soaps is often missing!

Alternatively, if they wanted to film at the airport, Leeds/Bradford might have refused them permission(or simply wanted too much money).

People living in the Yorkshire dales, who wanted to get to Prague, would indeed probably be most like to fly with easyJet or Jet2 from Leeds/Bradford. If there were no convenient flights from there ,they might also consider using Jet2's services from Newcastle, Manchester or East Midlands.

If it's accuracy you want though, I'll point out that Doncaster/Sheffield Airport ceased using the name 'Robin Hood' at the end of last year ;-)

^^^ The only flights out of Durham Tees Valley Airport at this time of year are to Aberdeen and Amsterdam, with an additional summer service to Jersey.

They always use Doncaster Sheffield airport, doesn't matter where they're going. It's a soap!

Why was it called Robin Hood anyway - thought he was from Nottingham?
