are you travelling by car?

 

if so, then maybe one of the multitude of online journey planners could help

I would do M1, M62. More miles but less messing.

By car.

 

The AA says via M56 and A557. Never even thought of that one.

 

I would usually go M1 then M62 but was wondering what other routes people used.

the motorways are probably the best, but there are a lot of roadworks on the m62 at the minute, no real delays just lots of average speed 50mph sections.

 

though if you felt brave, from your side of town i'd be tempted by the foxhouse-hathesage route and pick up the motorways around stockport.

This.

 

If it were me I'd go Woodhead/Snake - M67 - M60 south - M56 - A557, over the runcorn bridge and onto the Speke road to Airport.

 

Woodhead/Glossop can be very busy and the area around Runcorn can also get busy depending on the time of day but by the time you got to Runcorn that would probably be ok. But possibly for an 8am kick off I'd be wanting to avoid Glossop like the plague

 

That route will pop you into Liverpool on the south end - M62 drops you more into the centre, not particularly convenient for the Airport.

Thank you for this. Post 4 does say I will be going by car.

 

If I was doing this on my own then this would definitely be an option.

Done it many times no probs. just be careful at Runcorn cos road signs aren't brill but it's still best and shortest route

What's with the "Liverpool Airport"? Liverpool-John Lennon Airport has to be the coolest name for an airport in Europe. Why not use it? Safe trip.

I'm from Liverpool and find the name mildly embarrassing if I'm honest

The name does seem as if they were desperately trying to attach a bit of glamour to an otherwise nondescript regional airport.
