Getting from the Airport Inn to Manchester Airport
How you get to Manchester Airport depends on the hotel and parking package you choose. If your car is staying at the Airport Inn, you can take the paid hotel shuttle or a taxi. Our other packages include either a shuttle journey or a short walk from the car park to the terminal.
Transfers when parking at the hotel
The hotel shuttle runs approximately every 45 to 60 minutes. A single journey costs £10 per adult and £8 per child, while return tickets cost £14 per adult and £10 per child.
Taxis are available 24 hours a day and take around 10 minutes to reach the airport. A standard car costs approximately £15 to £17 each way, so a taxi may offer better value for small groups.

Airport Inn Manchester Airport hotel and parking packages
Choose from several Airport Inn hotel and parking packages, including parking at the hotel, park and ride, self-parking and meet and greet. The best option for you will depend on whether you want to keep your keys, how you prefer to reach the terminal and which terminal you’re flying from.
Good to know
With most off-site parking packages, you’ll park at the Airport Inn overnight and drive to your chosen car park after checking out. Overnight parking at the hotel costs £5, and you’ll need to register your car at reception.
Airport Inn with hotel parking
This is the simplest option if you don’t want to move your car after checking in. Parking at the Airport Inn is included for the duration of your trip. Find a space, register your car at reception and keep your keys. When you return, your car will be where you left it.
The hotel car park has CCTV and floodlighting. Transport between the hotel and Manchester Airport is not included, so you’ll need to use the paid hotel shuttle or arrange a taxi.

After checking out, drive approximately 10 minutes to the Terminal 2 meeting point. Follow the signs for P1, as the airport signs won’t say T2 Meet and Greet.
