This page is for pilgrims travelling from Blackburn and the surrounding area. It covers how Blackburn pilgrims fly to Saudi Arabia, getting to the airport, how local school holidays affect your dates, what each package costs and which one suits you. The hotels, meals, visa and ziyarat are the same as on all our packages; only the flight routing changes from city to city.

Umrah from Blackburn with flights from Manchester, named hotels in Makkah and Madinah and one written price.
Blackburn pilgrims nearly always fly from Manchester. Saudia flies direct from Manchester to Jeddah, normally daily, about six and a half to seven hours, so there is no connection.
If the direct flight is full or expensive on your dates, one-stop routes from Manchester through Istanbul or a Gulf hub are the back-up, and Leeds Bradford is another option with one stop.
For routes, airlines and flight times in more detail, see our Umrah flights guide.
Manchester Airport is about 35 to 40 miles from Blackburn via the M65, M61 and M60, usually 45 minutes to an hour by car.
Trains from Blackburn run to Manchester, where you change for Manchester Airport station. With large cases, a lift or a pre-booked taxi is usually easier.
Each council sets its own term dates, so Blackburn families should check Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council's calendar first. Typical breaks and what they mean for Umrah:
| School break | Usual timing | For Umrah |
|---|---|---|
| October half-term | Late October | Popular; Makkah highs in the high 30s °C |
| Christmas holidays | Late December to early January | Busy and dearer; book early |
| February half-term | Mid-February | Falls in Ramadan in 2027 |
| Easter holidays | Late March or April | Check the Saudi season dates; Umrah closes before Hajj |
| Summer holidays | Late July to early September | Very hot; plan for night-time tawaf |
For month-by-month prices, see our October, December and Easter packages, or the October half-term collection.
Blackburn prices are our standard figures, per person, quad sharing, including the return flight.
Christmas, Ramadan and Easter departures have their own seasonal prices. Triple and double rooms cost more than the quad figures shown.
With a direct flight from Manchester, every package works well from Blackburn. For a first Umrah we suggest 10 nights at 4★; for elderly parents, 5★ keeps the walk to the Haram short.
Compare every hotel and length on our Umrah packages page, or read about 3★, 4★ and 5★ hotels.
Blackburn, Darwen, Accrington and Burnley pilgrims all use the same route through Manchester, so the same packages work across East Lancashire.
