The Route: Crossing the Pennines with Precision

The distance between Sheffield and Manchester Airport is around 45 miles. As Sheffield is perched on the edge of the Peak District, the drive essentially takes you across the Pennines a lovely but occasionally hair-raising hill range.

Understanding the Main Routes

Our drivers don’t follow a blue line on a screen, they use local information to decide the best route for the time of day and any weather conditions.

A628 (Woodhead Pass): This is the easiest motorway for most airport transfers. It links South Yorkshire with Greater Manchester and is typically the quickest way to travel. Provides no obstruction, but is also subject to slowdowns during heavy morning and late afternoon traffic.

A57 (Snake Pass) : Notorious, and brilliant for views. It is shorter in miles but usually longer due to sharp curves and slower speed limits. It’s the route we will normally take as a fallback if Woodhead Pass is blocked.

Pott Shrigley /Southern approach: If you’re coming from the South of Sheffield (like Dore or Totley), we could go via Hathersage and Chapel-en-le-Frith. This bypasses central Sheffield and is a very easy road to drive right up to the airport off.

Journey Times

Under normal conditions, the one-way trip takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes. But our advice is always to include a “buffer,” in case the unanticipated happens.
