Route
Blackpool to Heathrow is mostly motorway — east on the M55, south on the M6 through the West Midlands, then the M40 east into Heathrow via the M25. Long but very predictable.
Blackpool → M55 east → M6 south → through Manchester ring, Stoke, Birmingham M6 toll → M42 → M40 east → M40 J1A → M25 J16 → M4 J4b → Heathrow. Approximately 245 miles, typically 4h–4h15m off-peak.
Standard practice is one stop at a motorway service station — typically Stafford (M6) or Warwick (M40) — for refreshments, fuel and toilets. No charge for reasonable stops. Long-haul outbound passengers often appreciate the break on a 4-hour journey.

Reviews
"01:30 pickup from South Shore for an 06:30 BA flight to Singapore. Driver outside the house at 01:20 in a clean exec saloon, smooth M55/M6/M40 with one stop at Stafford, dropped at T5 by 05:45. as quoted. The only sensible way to do a long-haul from the Fylde."

"Family of 6 going to Florida — me, partner, four kids, six hold cases. Booked the MPV. Driver was patient with everything, smooth journey, dropped at T3 with time to spare. Far less stress than Blackpool → Preston → Euston → Tube with all that kit."
