Blackburn to and from Edinburgh Airport

Travelling Blackburn To and From Edinburgh Airport is a comfortable and scenic journey, ideal for business professionals, families, students, and international travellers heading to or from Scotland’s capital. Covering approximately 195 miles (314 kilometres), this trip usually takes around 3.75 to 4 hours in normal traffic. 

The most efficient and direct route starts on the M65 eastbound, merging onto the M6 northbound through Preston and Lancaster. After crossing into Scotland, continue on the A74(M), then join the M8 eastbound, and take the A720 Edinburgh Bypass to reach the airport.

Alternative scenic routes include switching to the A702 after Carlisle for a rural experience, or travelling via the A74(M) and A701, which blends motorway comfort with countryside charm. During peak times—especially in the morning near the M8 and evening hours around Edinburgh—you may need to add 20 to 45 minutes to your journey.

We offer door-to-door pickups and drop-offs from Blackburn and popular areas en route such as Preston, Lancaster, and Carlisle, extending to Livingston, Peebles, and Edinburgh city centre. 

Whether you're heading to a hotel, conference venue, or university, our executive transfers are the alternate to Edinburgh taxis, which ensure a smooth, punctual, and comfortable experience. Edinburgh Airport is served via one main terminal with seamless access to all flight services.
