From Queenborough, Manchester Airport is about 243 miles by road, usually 4 hr 50 – 6 hr door to terminal. It's the 12th-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.
Manchester has three terminals (1, 2 and 3), so check yours before you travel. The route from Kent crosses the Thames at Dartford and heads north on the M1 and M6, a long run where we always build in comfort breaks and margin.
