Terminal
Yorkshire’s largest airport runs its whole operation from one building on the Yeadon hilltop, 681 feet up — a title the airport itself claims as England’s highest. Nine airlines fly from here by the official list (Aer Lingus, Aurigny, easyJet, Jet2, KLM, Ryanair, SunExpress, TUI and Wizz Air), reaching over 80 destinations. The terminal is mid-refurbishment: the main reception desk is shut for now, with staff covering the floor instead, and ATMs and free Wi-Fi (“LeedsBradfordAirport_Free_WiFi”) run the length of the building.
Two separate halls split the terminal by airline: Hall B belongs to Jet2.com alone, Hall A to everyone else, each with its own self-service bag drop. Jet2.com and Jet2Holidays are the only operators offering a Twilight service — hold luggage dropped the evening before, between 16:30 and 21:00 — every other airline sticks to same-day check-in.
Liquids stay capped at 100ml/100g and go in the tray with everything else — no plastic bag needed. One lighter and one e-cigarette are allowed per passenger, and infants under two ride Fast Track free with a paying adult; everyone else buys a ticket, refundable to no one once booked.
There is no railway at the terminal itself: FLYER buses, operated by Transdev, run direct from Leeds, Bradford and Harrogate, timed to the flight schedule from roughly 06:00 to 22:00 daily. From Leeds or Bradford Interchange a through rail-and-bus ticket covers the whole trip.
A Hidden Disability Lanyard is available for anyone who wants a discreet signal to staff, and a Changing Places room — height-adjustable bed, tracking hoist rated to 200kg — sits in departures beside the Saltaire Bar & Eatery, opened with a RADAR key or the intercom outside. Assistance itself is arranged with the airline or travel agent no later than two days out; the airport cannot take the request directly.
