From Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham Airport is about 17 miles by the motorway route. Most trips take 25 to 35 minutes.
The usual way is east along the A38 to the M6 Toll and then south on the M42. Some drivers prefer the A452 Chester Road down through Castle Bromwich and Chelmsley Wood, which is shorter and avoids the toll.
