Leeds Bradford Airport lies at Yeadon, on high ground between the two cities, and is England's highest airport, at about 200 metres above sea level: wind and fog sometimes cause delays. It is Yorkshire's airport, handy for Leeds, York, Harrogate, the Yorkshire Dales and Haworth, home of the Brontë sisters.

Getting to the city
- Flyer buses: express services to Leeds station and to Bradford, in about 30-40 minutes.
- Train: the nearest station is Horsforth, reached by bus or taxi; there is no airport station.
- Taxis and car hire at the terminal; a car is useful for the Dales.
Practical tips
- Documents: most visitors need a passport and an Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA), applied for before departure (see documents and ETA).
- Drop-off and pick-up: almost every UK airport charges even for a short stop outside the terminal; pre-booked car parks are cheaper.
- Security: rules on liquids and laptops in hand luggage depend on each airport's scanners; check the official website before you travel.
- Payments: contactless cards are accepted almost everywhere, including on trains and buses.
