Checking in

Leeds Bradford airport recommends that passengers arrive at the terminal two to three hours before their flight. This is only a guide though - you should also check with your airline and see what they say. Some airlines may allow you to check in online before you get to the airport, so you only have to drop your hold luggage at the bag drop before heading to security.

Baggage allowance

Different airlines have different policies on the amount of hand luggage they allow, so you’ll need to check. All hand luggage will be screened at the airport and one important thing to remember is that you’re not allowed any liquids, gels or pastes over 100ml – they’ll need to go in your hold luggage. And any liquids in your hand luggage must be taken through security in a transparent, resealable 20cm x 20cm plastic bag.

Book Leeds Bradford airport parking and hotels

It’s never too early to tick your Leeds Bradford airport parking and Leeds Bradford airport hotel off the holiday to-do list and booking early normally means you get better prices. Take a look at our Leeds Bradford airport parking page for a list of great value car parks at or just outside the airport, then treat yourself to one of our Leeds Bradford airport hotels so you don’t have to worry about unexpected traffic or delays on the day of your flight. The popular, friendly three-star Britannia won’t break the bank, while you’ll be treated like an old friend at the elegant and stately four-star Mercure, which backs onto the gorgeous Golden Acre Park.

Dropping off passengers

The Terminal Front Express Parking zone, outside the entrance, is the most convenient place for dropping off and picking up passengers. Follow the green and white signs as you approach the terminal. It’s not free though – it costs £2 for 30 minutes and £5 for an hour (prices correct on August 22, 2013). However, there is a free drop-off and pick-up zone in Long-Stay car park 1, where you can park for free for an hour. The terminal is just a five to seven-minute walk away, or there’s a free bus you can catch.
