About Official Long Stay
Long Stay is the budget car park run by Leeds Bradford Airport itself. You park, keep your keys and ride a shuttle bus that runs around the clock, about two minutes to the terminal according to the airport.
Long Stay is Leeds Bradford Airport's own budget car park, positioned for holidays and longer trips. It is the cheapest official product on our sample dates, a few pounds below Mid Stay over eight days.
You drive in through a barrier that reads your number plate, park in any space and keep your keys. A shuttle bus takes you to the terminal. The airport describes the shuttle as running 24/7 and puts the ride at about two minutes. Resellers describe it as running when needed and quote up to four or five minutes, so allow for a short wait.
On the way home, you catch the shuttle back from where it dropped you off. The exit barrier reads your number plate again, so there is nothing to pay on the way out when you return on time.

Security at Official Long Stay
Resellers of the airport's car parks list CCTV, entry and exit barriers and regular patrols. The airport's own pages do not describe its security or state a Park Mark award, so we do not claim one. Take valuables with you and leave nothing on show.

Long Stay against Mid Stay
The gap over eight days is small. Choose on the transfer. With cases and children, the bus avoids the uphill walk. With a carry-on, Mid Stay removes the wait for a bus.

|---|---|---|
| Getting to the terminal | 24/7 shuttle bus | 6 to 9 minute walk |
| Keys | You keep them | You keep them |
| Price on our dates | Lower | A few pounds more |
| Suits | Longer trips, heavy luggage | No bus, light luggage |
How the shuttle works

Catch it back from where it dropped you off.
Resellers describe the bus as running when needed rather than to a timetable. At busy times you may wait a few minutes. Allow about 20 minutes from the barrier to the terminal door to be safe.
The hill at Leeds Bradford
The airport sits on a hillside at Yeadon, and the walks between the car parks and the terminal are not flat. With heavy cases, young children or limited mobility, the gradient matters as much as the distance. Blue Badge areas are available in every car park, per the airport.
