Harrogate and York to LBA
Leeds Bradford is the closest commercial airport to our Knaresborough base. From Harrogate the run is about 11 miles, usually 25 minutes, south on the A658 through Pannal and Pool-in-Wharfedale. From York it is nearer 30 miles and 50 minutes, west on the A64 to the A1(M) before picking up the same A658 approach.
The one pinch point we plan around is Buttersyke Bar, where the A658 narrows. In the morning peak we add roughly 15 minutes to the Harrogate timing rather than hoping the traffic behaves.
Set-down and collection at the terminal
Departing passengers are dropped at the short-stay set-down directly outside Departures, so there is no shuttle bus and no long walk with cases. We suggest being at the terminal two hours before a short-haul flight and three hours before long-haul, and we work the collection time back from that.
For arrivals we track the flight and meet you at the terminal. Many guests heading to Rudding Park, ten minutes up the road, go straight there before the rest of the day begins.
Which car for an LBA run
Our silver Mercedes-Benz V-Class is a luxury MPV seating up to 7 passengers with generous luggage space, suited to executive groups, airport transfers, weddings and events. Families or colleagues flying together, up to 7 adults with luggage, suit the Mercedes-Benz V-Class and its forward-facing passenger seats.
How The Rural Chauffeur works
