From Queenborough, Birmingham Airport is about 167 miles by road, usually 3 hr 10 – 3 hr 55 door to terminal. It's the 9th-closest of the 12 airports we serve from Queenborough. That's around 5 minutes quicker than from Sheerness, because Queenborough is closer to the Sheppey Crossing.
The usual route is the A249, M2, A2, Dartford Crossing (A282), M25, A414 and M1. Because it crosses the Thames at Dartford, timing matters: queues build quickly at busy times, so we always build in a margin.
Birmingham Airport has a single terminal, linked to Birmingham International station and the NEC by the free AirRail Link. From Kent the route crosses the Thames at Dartford and heads north on the M1, so it's a journey to plan with plenty of time.
