Airport transfers from Harrogate
Harrogate airport transfers: Leeds Bradford in about half an hour, Manchester in an hour and three quarters. Fixed prices and hotel pickups.
Harrogate generates two very different kinds of airport travel: residents flying from Leeds Bradford and Manchester, and conference visitors arriving into either and needing moving to a hotel in the town.
We handle both, and in both cases the price is agreed before the journey.
The two main runs
Leeds Bradford is around half an hour from the town centre via Pannal and the A658, which makes it the default for most trips. Manchester is about an hour and three quarters via the A61 and M62, and it is the long haul choice.
Conference season fills the hotels around the Royal Hall and Valley Gardens, and the streets around them are restricted. We agree the collection point with you rather than assuming the car can wait outside.

Visitors arriving into Yorkshire
For delegates flying into Leeds Bradford, being met and driven the last half hour is the difference between arriving ready and arriving frazzled. We take the flight number and meet the actual arrival.
Groups travelling together are handled in the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, quoted for the vehicle rather than per head.
How long to Leeds Bradford from Harrogate?
About thirty minutes in normal conditions, longer through the Pannal and Harewood traffic in the morning peak.
Can you meet a flight and take a group to a hotel?
Yes, that is a regular booking during conference season, in the V-Class where the party is larger.
Is the quote inclusive?
Yes, it covers the drive, the waiting and the terminal parking.
