How can I get to Manchester airport?
By Car
When travelling to Manchester Airport by car, the Airport
roads will display colour-coded cubes which indicate the best route
to each terminal and its car parks. You will need to get into the
appropriate lane as marked by the coded cube.
Manchester Airport is planning to erect large banner signs on the
approach roads to each individual terminal. These will indicate
which airlines fly from that particular terminal. The airlines will
appear in alphabetical order, along with the airline logo and code.
Journey time from central Manchester 20-25 minutes.
By Taxi
All taxis on the ranks at Manchester Airport are licensed
by Manchester City Council. In addition, drivers approved by the
Airport hold a supplementary licence issued by Manchester Airport
PLC.
Within the City of Manchester licensed area, the fare applicable
is that shown on the meter, including any supplementary charges
which are shown on the tariff lists. Outside the Manchester licensed
area, the fare is subject to negotiation between the passenger and
the driver prior to the commencement of the period of hire. However,
all drivers holding a Manchester Airport licence have agreed a maximum
tariff which is shown in leaflets available from the drivers and
on the tariff boards displayed at each taxi rank. The drivers will
be happy to give passengers receipts for any fares paid.
Journey time from central Manchester 20-25 minutes.
Fare: approx £12.
By Train
Manchester Airport's award-winning railway station is at
the heart of the airport complex. Skylinks connect the three Airport
