The journey
Three and a half hours north on the M6 and A1. A long transfer, booked mostly by groups and by people arriving when the last train has gone.
Arriving at Birmingham Airport
Birmingham Airport is in the middle of England, next to the M42 and the NEC exhibition centre. It serves the Midlands, and it is within two hours of most of the country — which is why so many of its transfers go well beyond the city itself.
- The NEC and the Resorts World hotels are minutes from the terminal, and the walk is longer than the drive at the end of a long day.
- Coventry is closer than Birmingham city centre — twenty minutes against twenty-five.
- Traffic on the M42 and M6 around the airport is heavy at commuting hours and on exhibition days.
How long it really takes
Maps says 209 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.
Realistically, 239 to 284 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.
When to book
Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.
Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.
