Getting To Manchester Airport
Getting To Manchester Airport By Car
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.
