For participants travelling via Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA), there is a bus from the airport to the railway station every 20 minutes during the day, and the journey takes approximately half an hour.

There are also trains from Manchester Airport (MAN) approximately every half an hour, with the journey to Leeds lasting around 90 minutes.

Participants using a London airport should travel to King's Cross Station, from which trains to Leeds depart every half an hour, with a journey time to Leeds of around 135 minutes; from Luton Airport (LTN) other routes are possible, including direct trains to Leeds, although the total journey time is similar to that via King's Cross.
