Cheap Flights to York from $500

Traveling to the United Kingdom is a joy for history buffs living in the United States. Flights to York will bring you to a place full of history dating back to AD 71, when the Romans built a large wall around the city. Over time, York became an important center for religious worship and military might. If you haven't seen cathedrals built during the 1300s, then you are in for a special sight that will change the way you think about architecture. From the moment you arrive at Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA), you are surrounded by buildings and customs that predate everything in American culture.

Transportation from LBA

York flights land at Leeds Bradford Airport, which by car is about 30 miles away. You can get a rental at the airport or hail a taxi for the ride to York. If you'd rather use public transport, you can take the TransPennine Express, Northern Line, or Virgin East Coast Line. Depending on when you arrive, the rail trip can take anywhere from one to two hours. Most of the journey offers lovely views of the English countryside, so you will spend most of your time staring out the window. Most hotels in York are in fairly populated areas that will put you close to plenty of restaurants and pubs. After you settle in, head out for a bite to eat. Some of the oldest (and best) restaurants are located on Goodramgate, a popular street that is easy to find. Any good concierge can point you in the right direction.
