East Midlands, Birmingham or Manchester? Choosing an airport from Nottingham

Nottingham is well placed for airports, with six within three hours. Here's how they compare.

East Midlands (EMA): around 25 minutes

The closest and simplest. Great for European holidays and ski flights, with a single terminal and short walks.

Birmingham (BHX): around 1 hour

More long-haul and Middle East routes than EMA, and still close enough for an easy door-to-door transfer.

Manchester (MAN): around 2 hours

The biggest airport outside London, with direct flights to North America and Asia. Worth the extra hour for the route choice.

London: Luton, Heathrow and Gatwick

Luton is around 1 hour 45 by road and ideal for early budget flights. Heathrow, about 2 hours 15, is the main long-haul hub. Gatwick is around 3 hours away but has some routes you won't find elsewhere.

Whichever you choose, we offer fixed prices from Nottingham with flight tracking and meet & greet included.
