Getting to the airport
By car, the usual approach is M1 Junction 23a or 24. Skylink buses run from Leicester, Derby, Nottingham and Loughborough; check the current timetable before you rely on a last bus. East Midlands Parkway is the nearest main-line station, then a bus or taxi to the terminal — it is not a walkable link, so allow extra time. Official parking is worth comparing against BHX on the same dates; we do not quote a price here because it changes.
