Airport Map

If you are arriving into Manchester Airport, there is a short rail link to the city centre, where you'd need to get the tram. We'd recommend the purchase of a "Rail Ranger
" ticket as it will cover you for both methods of travel and is quite cheap at under £4.Full fare airlines fly to Manchester Airport
as well as several low-cost carriers, which is about 15 minutes train connection from the City Centre and you would arrive at Manchester Piccadilly, where we recommend the Metrolink connection.Low-cost airlines also fly to Liverpool John Lennon (LPL)
which is about an hour away and has a bus-link to Manchester as well as train services.You can find a list of places with direct flights to Manchester on Manchester Airport's website.
If you can't get a direct flight to Liverpool or Manchester, connections are available from London Heathrow (LHR)
, Gatwick (LGW)
, Stansted (STN)
and London City Airport (LCY)
