Getting To Manchester Airport By Car
Manchester Airport
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.
Getting To Manchester Airport By Train
Manchester Airport’s award-winning railway station is at the heart of the airport complex, located at The Station. Skylinks connect the three Airport terminals to the upper level of The Station. The Skylinks incorporate moving walkways, and there are lifts and escalators at the terminals and railway station for easy access to all levels.
The Station has a travel centre, which:
- sells rail tickets
- books seats
- provides information
- includes two self-service automatic ticket machines
Running times of trains
Train services operate to the Airport every day, except Christmas Day and Boxing Day (December 25th and 26th), from many stations in Northern England and the Midlands.
Many direct services are hourly from Monday to Saturday and most run a Sunday service.
