Manchester Airport (MAN) is the busiest in the UK outside London and the main way out of the North of England, flying to more than 200 destinations. It sits 14 km south of the city. For travellers coming in from Yorkshire, Lancashire or Cheshire, hotels near Manchester Airport mean you skip the rush-hour motorway crawl on the morning of a flight.
There's a train station on site too, with direct services to Manchester Piccadilly, Liverpool and Leeds, so getting in and out doesn't depend on the M56. The hotels run from budget to premium, and many bundle parking with the room.
