- Free cancellation until 24 hours before pick-up.
- One suitcase and one bag per passenger. More than that, tell us when you book.
The journey
An hour east. York's walled centre is closed to most traffic, so the driver drops you at the nearest gate. The rail alternative starts in Leeds, not at the airport.
Arriving at Leeds Bradford Airport
Leeds Bradford sits on a hill between the two cities, and the approach roads are narrow and often slow — which is why the drive into Leeds takes longer than the fourteen kilometres suggest. It is the airport for West Yorkshire and for the Dales.
- Fourteen kilometres to Leeds, but nearly half an hour on the road. Plan with the time, not the distance.
- Bradford is the same distance in the other direction, and often forgotten by visitors comparing hotels.
- For the Yorkshire Dales, this is the closest airport by a wide margin.
How long it really takes
Maps says 56 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.
Realistically, 86 to 131 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.
When to book
Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.
Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.
