    Manchester airport is a relatively modern, substantial, local airport serving over 200 internal and international destinations. The airport is only about 8 miles out of the city centre and has train, bus and taxi connections pretty much 24 hours a day.

    There are 3 terminals used by over 80 airlines, including charter, budget and longhhaul flights. The terminals are connected by skywalkways and navigating between them is simple and well signposted.

    In the centre of the airport is the Manchester Airport train station which has regular trains into the city centre (Manchester Piccadilly) with a journey time of about 15 minutes.

    Manchester airport is one of the largest airports in UK, with a lot of international and domestic flights. The airport is located just south of the city centre, 20 minutes by taxi.

  • Manchester has it's own airport but none of the UK budget airlines use it. The nearest budget locations are Liverpool (Easyjet) and East Midlands (BMI and Easyjet), otherwise you're looking at a substantial regional supplement with the major airlines. There are decent train links and parts of the Sheffield to Manchester line are particularly scenic as it takes you through the Peak District.

  • Manchester International Airport lies around 6 miles outside of the Centre, and is well served from both Europe and the USA. Train link direct to City, regular bus service.
    Manchester is well served by its tram system, the Metrolink, linking the City Centre with local towns Bury and Altrincham. Majority of hotels and attractions are within City Centre.

    I've flown Dublin - Manchester with Ryanair. and Aer Lingus. AL is much nicer :)

    Manchester airport is fairly small, so theres not much scope for duty free (go to Trafford instead! ;) ) However, you can get a train directly from Manchester airport to the city centre and other cities around the UK.

    Airport: Easy to fly here

  • Manchester is blessed with a terrific airport that ranks among Europe's best. It is easily navigated and has wonderful transport links to Manchester and the Northwest.

    A 2004 survey by Holiday Which? magazine named Manchester Airport the best in Britain!

    Trains run from the airport to Manchester's mainline station at Piccadilly 24 hours a day and usually take 15 minutes. Just follow the signs for The Station at the airport, conveniently located midway between the two main terminals.

    If your visit to the UK includes a trip to Ireland, Scotland or north Wales then Manchester should be your point of entry.

    If you arrived at the airport, it's pretty easy to take the train to Manchester City. It's pretty cheap also. Here's a photo of the trainstation at the airport.

    The best way to get to Manchester is by air. This is the airport in UK which I have used the most, as I have been working in Sheffield time to time.
    For more information, please visit: http://www.manchesterairport.co.u /home.
    From the airport to Manchester city centre you can choose from taking the bus, take a taxi or take the train. I prefer taking the train.

    Airport: IF HEADING EAST, GO TOWARD CHEADLE

  • If, like us, you are heading east from the airport take the Ringway Road from the main roundabout outside the parking structure. Watch for the signs "Cheadle" painted on the roadway. Ringway Road takes you to Styal Road, where you can access the Handforth Bypass at Winslow or the A555 to take you toward Bramhall, Hazel Grove, and points east.
