Flights to Blackpool
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Blackpool is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL), 55 km (34 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,497 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Manchester Airport (MAN, 73 km), Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA, 91 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool John Lennon Airport | LPL | 55 km (34 mi) | 7,497 ft | 80 ft |
| Manchester Airport | MAN | 73 km (45 mi) | 10,007 ft | 257 ft |
| Leeds Bradford Airport | LBA | 91 km (57 mi) | 7,381 ft | 681 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,497 ft, LPL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 80 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
