Umrah Flights from Sheffield to Jeddah
Doncaster Sheffield Airport has been closed to passenger flights since November 2022, and while funding has been approved to bring it back, commercial services aren’t expected to resume until at least 2027–2028. For now, pilgrims travelling from Sheffield need to use one of three nearby airports instead.
Where Sheffield Pilgrims Actually Fly From
- Manchester Airport (MAN) — around 45 miles away, roughly an hour’s drive, with direct Saudia and Virgin Atlantic flights to Jeddah
- Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) — around 55 miles away, offering connecting flights via European and Gulf hubs
- East Midlands Airport (EMA) — around 46 miles away, with connecting options via Saudia, British Airways, and Gulf carriers
Manchester stands out as the strongest choice for most Sheffield pilgrims, since it’s the only one of the three with a non-stop service to Jeddah.
Why Manchester Is Usually the Best Option
Saudia and Virgin Atlantic operate non-stop services from Manchester to Jeddah with nearly daily services and a flight duration of 6 hours 20 to 30 minutes. For such a long trip, saving an hour or two by doing away with a connecting stop is more than worthwhile, especially when traveling with kids and senior citizens.
Budget-Friendly Alternatives
If you’re flexible with your travel time or seeking significant savings, several major airlines offer connecting routes from Manchester through their Middle Eastern and European hubs:
Airline | Route | Approx. Flight Time |
MAN → Istanbul → JED | 9–11 hours | |
MAN → Doha → JED | 9–10 hours | |
MAN → Dubai → JED | 10–12 hours | |
MAN → Abu Dhabi → JED | 10–12 hours |
Umrah Flight Prices from Sheffield
Since Sheffield pilgrims are choosing between three departure airports rather than one fixed route, prices vary more than most cities. Here’s a general comparison:
Departure Airport | Typical One-Way Fare | Typical Return Fare |
Manchester (direct) | £215 – £450 | £520 – £900+ |
Leeds Bradford (connecting) | £220 – £480 | £480 – £820 |
East Midlands (connecting) | £280 – £550 | £359 – £800 |
Peak season (Ramadan / summer), any airport | Add roughly 30–50% | Add roughly 30–50% |
Comparing all three airports before booking, rather than defaulting to whichever is nearest, is usually the fastest way to bring the total cost down.

What Our Pilgrims Say
FaQ's
Is Doncaster Sheffield Airport open again yet?
No. It closed to passenger flights in November 2022, and while reopening funding has been approved, commercial flights aren’t expected before 2027 at the earliest.
Which airport should I fly from instead?
Manchester is usually the best choice, since it offers a direct flight to Jeddah. Leeds Bradford and East Midlands are worth comparing if Manchester’s fare or dates don’t suit you.
Is it worth driving further to Manchester for a direct flight?
For most pilgrims, yes — the extra hour’s drive is generally worth avoiding a layover on a journey this long, especially for families or older travellers.
Will my Umrah package still work now that Sheffield doesn't have its own airport?
Yes. Adam Travel simply books your flight from whichever nearby airport — Manchester, Leeds Bradford, or East Midlands — offers the best combination of fare and schedule.
When might Doncaster Sheffield Airport reopen for Umrah flights
Recent reports point to limited operations as early as winter 2027, with full passenger services unlikely before summer 2028.
