From Northampton (NN1, NN2, NN3) the natural line out is the M1 J15 and the A45, joining M23 J9a, then the terminal approach for the last part of the journey. Door to door it works out at roughly 136.5 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 2h 50m off-peak becomes 3h 25m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Meet and greet in the North or South Terminal arrivals hall. North and South terminals are a shuttle apart, so we confirm which one you land at before the day.
