Manchester To and From Bristol Airport

Travelling Manchester to and from Bristol Airport is a reliable long-distance route ideal for both domestic and international passengers. The approximate distance Bristol to Manchester is 180 miles (290 km), with an estimated travel time ranging from 3.25 to 4.25 hours, depending on traffic. 

The recommended route takes you from Manchester via the M56, joining the M6 southbound, then continuing on the M5 southbound near Birmingham. Stay on the M5 past Bristol and follow signs via the A38 for a direct arrival at Bristol Airport’s main terminal, which serves all flights and airlines.

If you want to avoid congestion near Birmingham, especially during peak hours, the M6 Toll is a faster alternative. It reconnects with the M5 further south and helps reduce delays, though toll charges apply. Another option is the M1 → A42 → M4 route, which passes through eastern Midlands and heads west into Bristol. While longer, it can be useful during incidents or closures on the M5.

This journey also serves popular areas like Stoke-on-Trent, Birmingham, Worcester, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Weston-super-Mare, and Bridgwater. Our door-to-door service ensures smooth pickups and drop-offs from homes, hotels, events, business venues, and universities.
