Manchester, Leeds/Bradford and East Midlands airports are all within one hours travel time of Sheffield. Manchester Airport is served by many domestic and international carriers and has a direct rail link to Sheffield which runs both day and night. Both London airports (Heathrow and Gatwick) are reasonably accessible, and both involve just one change of train. However, you should allow at least 4 hours travel time between either of these airports and Sheffield.
