Leeds Bradford Airport Taxi & Transfers
England's highest airport, and one with no direct rail link into either city it serves. A pre-booked, fixed-fare taxi from Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) gets you into Leeds or Bradford in under half an hour, with your driver tracking the flight and waiting at the terminal front, not a car park three fields away.
Getting To And From LBA
Leeds Bradford Airport operates one terminal split into two check-in halls — Hall A for every airline except Jet2, and Hall B dedicated entirely to Jet2, the airport's largest carrier and effective home base. easyJet, Ryanair, Aer Lingus and Air Transat round out the rest of the schedule. Sitting at 681 feet above sea level, LBA is England's highest airport — worth knowing if you're watching weather forecasts on a winter travel day.
There's no rail link at the airport itself (a "Leeds Bradford Parkway" station has been proposed but isn't built), so getting into either city means road transport. Leeds city centre is around 8.3 miles away, about 25 minutes via the A660; Bradford is a near-identical distance, roughly 7.9 miles and 17–26 minutes depending on traffic, via the A65. A pre-booked taxi avoids both the bus-connection juggle and the on-site taxi rank queue on a busy Jet2 arrivals bank.

Leeds Questions
Which check-in hall does my flight use at Leeds Bradford Airport?
If you're flying Jet2, it's Hall B — the airport's dedicated Jet2 check-in area. Every other airline (easyJet, Ryanair, Aer Lingus, Air Transat) uses Hall A. Both halls are in the same single terminal building, so there's no separate drop-off point to worry about.
Is there a train station at Leeds Bradford Airport?
Not yet. There's currently no rail link at the airport — only bus connections into Leeds and Bradford. A new 'Leeds Bradford Parkway' station has been proposed but isn't open, so a taxi remains the most direct door-to-door option.
How far is Leeds Bradford Airport from Leeds city centre?
About 8.3 miles, typically around 25 minutes via the A660 in normal traffic. We track your flight so your driver's pickup time is set against your real landing slot, not the scheduled one.
Is Bradford or Leeds closer to the airport?
They're almost identical — Bradford city centre is about 7.9 miles via the A65, Leeds is about 8.3 miles via the A660, and both typically run 17–26 minutes depending on traffic. Neither city has a meaningful advantage in journey time.
Do you serve Jet2's schedule specifically?
Yes — as the airport's largest carrier, Jet2's arrival patterns (including early-morning and late-evening banks) are exactly what our 24/7 flight-tracked pickups are built around.
What if I'm travelling in winter — does altitude affect the airport?
Leeds Bradford is England's highest airport at 681 feet, which can mean more fog, wind and de-icing delays than lower airports in winter. We build extra buffer into flight-tracked pickups on days like that so a weather delay doesn't leave you waiting.
