Open 24/7Getting to Birmingham Airport
Birmingham Airport sits beside the NEC and Birmingham International station. Kent travellers sometimes fly from here for routes or prices not available in London, or combine a flight with an NEC event.
It's a long run from Kent, typically 3 to 4 hours, so a door-to-door taxi with room for luggage is often much easier than trains with changes in London.
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.
