Fly from Leicester
Leicester is a great place to begin your Umrah journey from since it makes the trip very easy for the Muslims of the East Midlands region. Though Leicester does not possess an airport of its own, it is conveniently located close enough to EMA, BHX, and LHR, allowing you to choose based on your preference.
It does not matter whether you would like to choose the closest destination airport or the one offering a range of airline choices or simply the direct route; Leicester Umrah will allow you to do so. With affordable pricing of £399 and ATOL protection, as well as Leicester Muslim-specific assistance, going to Jeddah could not be easier.
Your Nearest Airports for Jeddah Flights
- East Midlands Airport (EMA) — around 15–19 miles from Leicester, roughly a 25-minute drive
- Birmingham Airport (BHX) — around 40–43 miles away, roughly 45–60 minutes by car, or reachable by coach from Leicester city centre
East Midlands is the closer of the two and worth checking first, though Birmingham often carries a wider spread of airlines and connection options to Jeddah, which can work out cheaper depending on your travel dates.
Flight Options from East Midlands
Traveling from the East Midlands to Jeddah will be through carriers like Saudia Airlines, British Airways, and other Gulf carriers like Etihad. The total flight time for the whole journey, including layovers, takes about 6 hours of flights.
Flight Options via Birmingham
In case your date and prices are not available at East Midlands Airport, another nearby airport, Birmingham, might come in handy, as it will give you more options connecting through cities like Istanbul, Doha, Abu Dhabi, and Muscat, operated by airlines like Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Etihad, and Pegasus.
What Does It Cost from Leicester?
Since Leicester pilgrims are really choosing between two nearby airports, it’s worth comparing both before booking:
|
East Midlands → Jeddah |
£280 – £550 |
£359 – £800 |
|
Birmingham → Jeddah |
£166 – £700 |
£500 – £1,300+ |
|
Peak season (Ramadan / summer), either route |
Add roughly 30–50% |
Add roughly 30–50% |
A wider comparison across both airports, rather than settling for whichever is nearer, is often the easiest way to bring the total fare down. Midweek departures and travel outside Ramadan and the summer holidays tend to price lower on both routes.
