Flights to Leeds-Bradford Airport from within the UK

Flights to Leeds-Bradford from which airports in the UK?

Regular flights serve the booming Leeds-Bradford airport from all corners of the UK. The Yorkshire cities can be reached from the capital via London Heathrow, while there are excellent connections to the south-west of the country thanks to direct flights to Bristol, Exeter, Newquay, Plymouth. For the south coast, it's also possible to fly to Southampton.

Likewise, there are numerous daily flights north of the border, such as services to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, while services also head over the Irish Sea to both the Isle of Man and both Belfast International and Belfast City airports in Northern Ireland.

Airlines which fly to Leeds-Bradford Airport

Though Flybe dominates the international flights market from Leeds-Bradford, it offers just three domestic services from the airport, namely to Belfast City, Exeter and Southampton. Likewise, fellow low-cost carrier Jet2.com's UK flights are outnumbered by its international offerings, flying to just Belfast International, while market leader Ryanair flies nowhere in the UK from the Yorkshire airport.

Air Southwest links that region with Leeds-Bradford, while Eastern Airways jets up to Scotland and, as its name suggests, Manx2 operates flights to the Isle of Man.

Also offering domestic flights from Leeds-Bradford is bmi, jetting to Heathrow, Edinburgh and Glasgow, while relative newcomer Newmarket operates services to Belfast International.

Where would you have to fly over?

Coming from the west, for example from Ireland, planes fly over the Pennine Hills, offering spectacular views on clear days, while those passengers coming from the south may be able to look out over the industrial cities of Manchester and Leeds and the windswept Yorkshire Moors.

After living in the shadow of Manchester for decades, Leeds has emerged as one of the most dynamic of British cities over recent years, with businesses relocating to the city and taking up residence in contemporary office blocks and restored Georgian arcades, being joined by some of the biggest names in fashion and retail. At the same time the city is establishing itself as one of the country's most creative cities, boasting massively popular bands and world-class bars and restaurants.

Just a matter of minutes outside of Leeds, visitors can get away from it all in the Yorkshire Moors, while medieval York is less than half an hour away by train.
