How close is your nearest airport?

[CeeceeBloomingdale]

Mine is just under 10 miles away.

I'm amazed so many of you live so close to an airport.

@PuttingDownRoots @RampantIvy
Yes DSA.
I hope it doesn't close because it's a great airport and they do summer flights to DHs home country but it's not looking positive.
If it closes we will have to fly from Manchester to visit the in laws. I hate flying from Manchester.

A mile. They take off and land close to my house. They didn’t used to. When I moved in with dh these planes were in the distance. We now can’t sit in our garden. Oh well, that’s what you get with a house close to the airport —still get charged £14 by a taxi to get dropped off— 🙄

1.5 miles to Newcastle International.
You just get used to hearing the planes and DD1 who is 2.5 has spent the summer in the garden waving to most planes flying over our house, shouting "happy holidays!"

I hope it doesn't close either. It is the easiest one to get to for us. All that money spent on the new roads as well. It's a pity that Jet2 won't fly from there.

Very recent for me! Stumbled across the cottage and couldn’t resist it. DCs downloaded the flight tracker onto the PC, it’s very interesting.

And it’s reawakened my Air Crash Investigation obsession from years ago so I spend my nights listening to Podcasts about them 😳

Fascinating subject.

1 hour from EMA.

I probably live next door to @PuttingDownRoots 😁

3 miles and I'm heading there in a few days. I've been checking the live security queues this week and they've never been longer than 10 minutes so I can safely leave my house less than 2 hours before my flight as it's only a 5 minute drive outside peak hours.

12 minutes from Gatwick airport .

Local air strip 6.3miles
24 miles from regional airport
95miles from nearest major airport
230miles from Heathrow

7 miles. But flying any nice from it is complicated.

11 miles apparently, just googled it

45 minutes on a direct train (50 mins door to door). Never go by car but it’s around 30km I believe.

@YellowPlumbob

Air crash investigation is must see viewing and flight radar is generally open too. We are under the approach to the airport plus regularly get military planes and helicopters plus civil helicopters

5-minute boat ride or maybe a 15-minute walk. International airport.

Or like 2 minutes by tube probably.

I can lie on my sofa and watch planes landing and taking off!

7 miles away from Birmingham airport

I sometimes walk to and from the airport if it’s a nice day 🙈 the route is so scenic!

@MsSquiz I love that, it's made me

We're about 40 mins to the south and 40 mins to the north.

33 miles. And 1 hour of driving to get there.

25 minutes to the nearest airport, then 40 minutes or 90 minutes to the next two.
Under the flight path of one of them and its fucking noisy 🤬

We get rescue helicopters a lot too.

Hard Landings Podcast is done by three people, all ACI fans, one is an engineer, one works as in maintenance on planes, the other is a teacher who clearly got dragged into it by her friends 😅 It’s by far and away my favourite one.

Luton airport is about 40miles away, that is my nearest followed by Stansted, East Midlands and Birmingham
