Terminal Information – Arriving

Manchester Airport has three terminals and is the largest airport in the UK (outside of London). All of the terminals are within walking distance. A direct train runs from the airport station to Manchester Piccadilly. Tickets are inexpensive. There's a walkway between terminals 1 and 2 and the station: you can reach it from terminal 3 by walking through terminal 1 first. Another option is the Metrolink tram, which is better if you're heading to the suburbs rather than the city centre. Tram and train tickets are the same price. Another option is bus. National Express coaches are available to Chorlton Street and Stagecoach run a service to Piccadilly Gardens. There's a taxi rank outside each terminal: it takes about 30-45 minutes to reach the city centre by cab. Car hire is also available at Manchester Airport: you can compare with Skyscanner to find good deals.
