Open 24/7Getting to East Midlands Airport
East Midlands Airport sits near junction 24 of the M1, between Nottingham, Derby and Leicester. Kent travellers occasionally fly from here for particular holiday routes.
It's a long journey of about 3 to 4 hours via Dartford and the M1, but it's motorway almost all the way.
East Midlands has a single terminal right by the M1. From Kent the route crosses at Dartford and heads straight up the M1, so it's a long but simple drive.
