From Warden, Manchester Airport is about 249 miles by road, usually 4 hr 55 – 6 hr 10 door to terminal. It's the 12th-closest of the 12 airports we serve from Warden. That's about the same as from Sheerness.
The usual route is the A2500, A249, M2, A2, Dartford Crossing (A282), M25 and A414. Because it crosses the Thames at Dartford, timing matters: queues build quickly at busy times, so we always build in a margin.
