FAQs
Blackpool to Manchester Airport: your questions
How much is a taxi from Blackpool to Manchester Airport?
Prices start from £95 in a Saloon Car. An Estate Car is from £101 and a People Carrier is from £120. These are weekday starting prices. You’ll see the exact price for your date and time before you book, and that’s the price you pay.
How long does it take to get from Blackpool to Manchester Airport?
It’s about 57 miles by road and usually takes around 1 h 5 min in normal traffic, usually via the M55 and M6 then the M61 and M60. Allow extra time at rush hour, and add the time you need at the airport before your flight.
What time should I leave Blackpool for a 6am flight?
Most airlines ask you to be at the airport about 2 hours before a short-haul flight and 3 hours before a long-haul one. For a 6am short-haul flight that means arriving by 04:00. The drive is about 1 h 5 min, and roads are quiet at that hour, so a pickup at about 02:35 leaves 15 minutes spare. For long-haul, about 01:35. Check your airline’s own advice.

Local tips for Blackpool
Blackpool is a long run for a normal airport transfer, so most people book it as a door to door car rather than juggling trains and a change at Preston. We plan the pickup time with the traffic on the M55 and M6 in mind.
From here we usually take the M55 and M6 then the M61 and M60.
