Leeds Bradford Airport

Leeds Bradford is the closest airport to the city of Leeds! It is NOT an international airport in the sense that there are no direct flights from the US. Typically, airlines such as Aer Lingus provide one stop flights via Dublin; for example, if you fly from JFK to Leeds Bradford, Aer Lingus would have a stop over in Dublin and a connection flight would take you the rest of the way. On the way back, the Dublin airport has a US Customs station which is typically very quick to get through and allows you to skip the customs line back in the US! Pros: Leeds Bradford is close to the hotels so you will not have to take a train after your flight; Traveling via Aer Lingus allows you to skip the customs line on the way home and usually has cheaper flights Cons: Stop over waits can range from an hour and twenty minutes to ten hours depending on the day and you will have to disembark and re-embark planes.
