I have to be at heathrow airport tomorrow for 8:30am. AA Routeplanner says 3.5 hours, but i guess this takes in to account traffic and stuff. I'll be getting on the M6 at Warrington as i live over that way.

I'm hoping it will be failry quiet on a sat morning? and i can sit at 85-90.

Anyone any suggestions as to how long it'll take?

If your taking the toll road (£3.50) then 3.5 hours with no delays is probably right, BUT the junction to heathrow is a nightmare sometimes, so id give it 5 hours and time to settle in

It can be a nightmare, but probably not at 4.30 in the morning. I'd give it 4.5 hrs myself, maybe a bit more. You can always have a pint or something!

Bloody hell.. i was kind of expecting it to take less than 3 hours in reality. think i'll set off just after 4:30, that gives me 4 hours... then jump back on the motorway and head home.. god what a day i have tomorrow, but the missus is back after 9 months away

She claims to have been to university in Miami, but i'm sure she's been locked away in Guantanamo

AA auto route is based on off peak driving. Some of the routes are bizarre though.

Autoroute reckons 2 hours 43 mins to Heathrow, which should be ok early on a saturday morning. It suggests M6 / M42 / M40.

I've gone from west of Preston to Heathrow in less than 3 hours early on a saturday morning down the M6 / M1, and that was before the M6 toll road, so you shouldn't have any problems.
