Manchester to Manchester Airport
Manchester Airport sits 16 km south of the city, usually reached via Princess Parkway and the M56. The drive takes 25-35 minutes from Spinningfields or Deansgate, but match days and arena events can add another 20 minutes. The direct train to Piccadilly is fast, yet it still leaves most hotels needing a second transfer and offers no help with luggage.
