Located about 20 km northeast of East Midlands Airport, the centre of Nottingham has quite a few connections to the airport. However, East Midlands Railway doesn’t have a direct rail line and many travellers tend to opt for a taxi ride to avoid messing around on public transport.
Nevertheless, there are four transport options when travelling from Nottingham Train Station to East Midlands Airport; by taxi, private transfer, bus or train. The cheapest option is to use the direct Skylink buses, costing just £6.80 (€8). Trains are also available from the train station but you’ll need to use the Skylink to connect from Long Eaton Station to East Midlands Airport, meaning you’ll have to pay for two tickets. Finally, you can opt for a local taxi if you want a faster, more comfortable journey. The journey takes about 20 minutes and the price of a transfer is around £30 (€35).
If you’d rather avoid public transport and are looking for the most comfortable and convenient option, booking a private transfer in advance with Welcome Pickups guarantees you a set-rate fare and a smooth door-to-door experience.
