Lancaster to and from Manchester Airport

Travelling Lancaster To and From Manchester Airport is a quick and convenient journey, ideal for both business and leisure travellers. Covering a distance of approximately 60 miles (97 kilometres), this trip typically takes around 1 to 1.25 hours in normal traffic. 

The most efficient route follows the M6 southbound, transitioning onto the M56 eastbound, with clear signage leading directly to the airport’s dedicated access road and terminal area.

Alternative routes include travelling via the A6 and M61—useful when the M6 is heavily congested—or taking the more scenic A6, A580, and M62 combination during quieter periods. During peak hours (especially between 7–9 AM and 4–7 PM), it’s wise to allow for an extra 15–30 minutes due to traffic around Preston and the airport approach.

This route is ideal for a wide range of travellers, including corporate professionals, international visitors, families, elderly passengers, academic guests, and cruise travellers.
