Getting To Leeds / Bradford Airport
The airport is located at a fairly remote site at Yeadon as a consequence bus and car are the only realistic options although a rail/bus link is available.
By Car
Leeds / Bradford airport is not difficult to find but with no major motorway connection the journey off the M62 from the West and the A1 from the East is by windy A roads subject to a series of traffic lights as you pass through the various villages. If you have to travel through Leeds the outer ring road is always heavily congested with numerous traffic lights and extra time needs to be taken especially during rush hour.

By Bus
Metroconnect from Leeds and Bradford city centres. You will need to be sure that the service will cover your arrival and departure times and also those of your connecting buses to these centres.
By Rail
MetroConnect 757 at Leeds bus station and Leeds train station is the only way by rail. The other option are taxis from the rail station although this would be expensive.
Due to the need to transfer from bus to bus or from train to bus the passenger is in for a great deal of carrying and the car is by far the most convenient option.
