The bus stops and Uber pickup points are right outside the stations \u2013 ask a member of staff for directions if you are unsure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>If you are travelling from outside of the UK:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The nearest airport is Leeds-Bradford, which is small but does accommodate direct and connecting flights. A taxi will take you to central Leeds in about 30 minutes, or public transport takes under an hour (check Google maps for your route).<\/li>\n<li>The next nearest airport is Manchester, which accommodates direct flights from many international destinations. Connection to Leeds is best via train (60-90 minutes; book in advance or on the day at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetrainline.com\">www.thetrainline.com<\/a>).<\/li>\n<li>Connection from London to Leeds takes a little longer but is also straightforward. We recommend you fly into\u00a0London Heathrow Airport\u00a0or\u00a0London City Airport, then take the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lner.co.uk\/\">LNER train<\/a> from King's Cross Station to Leeds. It takes roughly 2 hours 15 minutes to get from London to Leeds and is cheapest to book in advance.<\/li>\n<li>From London Heathrow Airport to King's Cross, take the Piccadilly Line (Tube). The line runs directly from the airport to King's Cross.<\/li>\n<li>From London City Airport to King's Cross, take DLR Line then change to Northern Line at Bank Station.
