Getting To Manchester Airport

By Car

The airport is directly accessible by car from J5 off the M56. For directions view our interactive Airport Map.

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.

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
