about Manchester airport

About Manchester Airport

Being the fourth largest airport in the UK, it's good to get family with the facilities and terminals before you arrive. There are three terminals here so you'll want to check which you're departing from and arriving back into (they may be different), which also means someone dropping you off at departures, may need to pick you up from arrivals at a different terminal.

You've got everything you need an expect here, from grabbing some last minute sun cream from Boots, to having a cheeky full English breakfast before you board. Of course, you've got World Duty Free to get those duty free fragrances and latest pair of sunglasses, and there's even a pasty shop in terminal 3.

Getting There

You can get to Manchester airport in a number of ways. Driving is straight forward and there are multiple car parks depending on your length of stay and budget (the further from the terminals, the cheaper it will be). Train is another great option with services running from the airport to Manchester Piccadilly and other destinations including Liverpool Lime Street, Blackpool North, Leeds and Middlesborough. There are also numerous bus services which run to various parts of Manchester and Cheshire including Stockport, Trafford Park, Eccles, Wilmslow, East Didsbury and Buxton.

Car Parking

There are multiple airport parking options here, from short stays to pick up friends and family from arrivals, to longer stay car parks further away (requiring a bus to get you from the car park to the terminal building). It's worth taking a look at the options and booking in advance to secure your space and price.

Which Terminal

At the airport, whether you need wheelchair assistance from curbside to your seat onboard, or simply want the security staff to be aware of your anxiety, there are a range of services to suit all needs.

Hotels

If you're jetting off on holiday early, that 2am wake up call isn't as exciting as you think.
