The Nottingham to Stansted Airport journey covers approximately 120 miles and takes between 2 and 2 hours 30 minutes depending on traffic conditions. The fastest route heads south-east from Nottingham on the A46 to Newark-on-Trent, joins the A1 southbound past Grantham and Stamford, then picks up the A14 eastbound near Huntingdon before connecting to the M11 which runs directly into Stansted Airport at Junction 8. This eastern corridor route runs down through the heart of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire — bypassing London entirely. An alternative route via the M1 south → A14 east → M11 through Northampton and Cambridge is sometimes quicker when the A1 around Grantham is congested. Early morning departures for dawn flights often complete in around 2 hours when roads are clear. During weekday peak hours — particularly around Newark and the A14/M11 interchange near Cambridge — the drive may extend to approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. Our drivers use real-time traffic navigation to choose the fastest route on the day, and a rest stop at motorway services is available on request.
