About Humberside Airport

Introduction to Humberside

Humberside Airport is a small, single-terminal airport at Kirmington in North Lincolnshire, serving Lincolnshire, the East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull. It handles a relatively modest number of passengers each year compared with the big regional hubs, which usually makes the experience fairly calm and straightforward. Check-in, security and departures are all in the same compact building and most car parks are within a short walk of the terminal. As a rough guide, most airlines suggest you arrive around 1½–2 hours before departure, and if you’re using Long Stay or off-airport options it’s sensible to allow extra time to park and walk over (or take a quick shuttle if provided).

1. How to get to Humberside Airport?

You’ve basically got four main ways to reach Humberside Airport:

Bus & coach

• Local / regional buses – Services link the airport with surrounding villages and towns such as Scunthorpe and along the A18/A180 corridor, usually on an hourly or two-hourly basis. One such route calls at Kirmington and stops by the airport, which is handy if you live locally but less so if you’re coming from further afield.
• Via nearby hubs – Longer-distance coach services typically serve Grimsby, Hull or Scunthorpe rather than the airport itself. From there you’d need to connect by local bus or taxi to complete the journey.

Train + bus / taxi

• There’s no rail station at the terminal. The nearest mainline stop is Barnetby (on services between Cleethorpes, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Doncaster and beyond), about 2½ miles from the airport.
• From Barnetby you can take a short taxi ride or walk to a nearby bus stop on the local route serving Kirmington and the airport. Services are not especially frequent, so this tends to work best if you’re happy to plan around the timetable.

Car

• Humberside Airport sits between Scunthorpe and Grimsby, just a few miles from the M180 / A180 / A15 interchange and close to the A18. That gives good road access from Hull, Grimsby, Scunthorpe and much of Lincolnshire and East Yorkshire; driving times from those centres are typically around 20–35 minutes in normal traffic.
• On-airport parking is straightforward:
  • Car Park 1 (Short Stay) is directly opposite the terminal, about 75 metres away, and even offers a short free period for quick drop-offs and pick-ups.
  • Car Parks 2, 3 and 4 (Long Stay) are official on-airport car parks within easy walking distance (around 2–3 minutes) of the terminal, so there’s usually no need for a shuttle bus.
  • Independent providers may offer additional Park & Ride–style options nearby.

Taxi / private hire

• Because Humberside is in a fairly rural location, taxis and pre-booked private transfers are popular, especially if public transport timings don’t work. There’s a taxi rank and pick-up/drop-off area outside the terminal, and pre-booked services can collect you from home or a local rail/bus station. For short journeys or groups of 3–4 people, the total cost can be comparable to a week’s parking; for longer distances, driving and parking is often cheaper overall.

2. Choosing the right transport for you?

Whether you choose public transport, to drive, or to take a taxi will come down to a mix of cost, convenience and how you feel about risk and faff. Only you can balance those, and it may change every time you fly – but it’s worth thinking about a few things:

Do a price comparison

You might assume driving and parking is always the most expensive option – but that’s not always true. There are secure, trusted official and third-party car parks at Humberside that can be very competitive if you book in advance. Do your due diligence and check bus, train and taxi prices, but then run a quick search above – it takes less than a minute and you may be pleasantly surprised.

Delays

Think about what happens if your flight is delayed.

• With parking, you may pay an extra hour or day if you overstay.
• With trains, buses and coaches, if you miss your booked departure and don’t have a flexible ticket, you’re often buying a completely new ticket at walk-up prices – and there might not be another service for a while, or it may already be full.

Your car, on the other hand, is always “parked and waiting” when you land.

• How close is your flight to the time of your last bus, train or coach connection? If a one-hour delay means you miss the last service and end up paying for an expensive taxi home, would driving and parking have been cheaper and less stressful overall?

Total costs

• There may be a cheap bus or rail fare, but how much are you spending on taxis at either end, especially if you’re travelling at awkward times or with luggage/kids?
• How much longer does it take on public transport? If you have to take extra time off work just to make it work, then add that to the bill.

Stress & peace of mind

Are you going to stay awake all night worrying whether your early-morning taxi will arrive? Similarly, whether you’ll make all your connections on time?
If so, driving yourself might be the more relaxed option.

Safety

If you’ve got a long drive after a long flight – or you’d like a couple of drinks on board – public transport or an overnight hotel with parking might be the safer choice.

Convenience & luggage

How much lugging is involved? With public transport you may be wrestling multiple cases through small rural stations, onto buses and trains, and up and down steps. With parking, you load the car once and unload once at the terminal or car park. For families, groups or anyone with mobility issues, that simplicity can be worth paying for.

Total time

At Airport Parking Shop, we like a bargain as much as the next person – that’s why we started the site – but time matters too. Will public transport add an extra hour or two to your journey and how is that going to make you feel?

Where will you be dropped off?

For this one, taxis and cars tend to win – Humberside’s on-airport car parks are all close to the terminal, and taxis can drop you right outside. If you’re driving you can get terminal-close parking in Short Stay or the nearer Long Stay car parks; if you opt for a cheaper Park & Ride-style option, factor in a short walk or a quick shuttle.
