The Leicester to Stansted Airport journey covers approximately 100 miles and takes between 1.5 and 2 hours depending on traffic conditions. The fastest route heads east from Leicester on the A47 to the A1, then joins the A14 eastbound near Huntingdon before connecting to the M11 which runs directly into Stansted Airport. This route bypasses London entirely — a major advantage over the train, which forces you south into London St Pancras and back out via the Stansted Express. An alternative route via the M1 → M25 → M11 is longer but can occasionally be faster when the A14 is congested around Cambridge. Early morning departures for dawn flights often complete in around 1 hour 30 minutes when roads are quieter. During weekday peak hours — particularly around the A14/M11 interchange near Cambridge — the drive can extend to approximately 2 hours. Our drivers use real-time traffic navigation to choose the quickest route on the day.
