Manchester Airport Hotel and Parking Packages
A stay park fly package at Manchester Airport combines one night at a nearby hotel with a block of included parking – you check in the evening before your flight, sleep in an actual bed instead of a departure lounge chair, then drive to the airport the next morning and leave your car there for the duration of your trip. Manchester is well suited to this arrangement because Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 are close to several hotels at varying price points, and on-airport parking charges can be steep for trips of more than a few days.
How it works
You book a hotel and parking package through a comparison site or directly with the hotel, choosing the length of parking you need. On the day before your flight, you drive to the hotel, check in, and park your car in the designated hotel car park. The next morning you make your way to the terminal – either on foot for the closest properties, or by the hotel shuttle for those a mile or two further out. When you land, you collect your car from the same hotel car park and drive home.
Hotels with park and fly at Manchester Airport
Hilton Manchester Airport
The Hilton sits just 500 metres from the terminal, making it one of the closest hotels to the check-in desks of any property in Manchester. It is a four-star property with parking included for up to 15 days. At that distance, most guests simply walk to the terminal rather than waiting for a transfer – a small but underrated advantage at 5am.
Radisson Blu Manchester Airport
The Radisson Blu is the closest hotel to the terminal at 300 metres – close enough that you could forget something and go back. It is a four-star property in the premium tier, with 15 days parking included. If proximity to the gate is the main priority, this is hard to beat.
Crowne Plaza Manchester Airport
One kilometre from the terminal, the Crowne Plaza is another four-star option with 15 days included parking and a dedicated shuttle service to the airport. It tends to attract business travellers, but families and holiday passengers find it comfortable enough – the shuttle runs reliably and removes any uncertainty about arrival times.
ibis Manchester Airport
The ibis is the budget choice in the range: two stars, 1.5 km from the terminal, with 8 days parking included and a shuttle to the airport. Parking allocation is shorter than other hotels here, so it works best for trips under a week. The rooms are functional rather than luxurious, which is fine when you are there for one night before a flight.
Premier Inn Manchester Airport
Premier Inn is two kilometres from the terminal and sits in the budget tier, but it comes with 15 days parking – a generous allocation for the price point. A shuttle runs to the terminal. If you want low cost and a long stay, this combination is worth a look.
Britannia Airport Hotel Manchester
The Britannia is a three-star mid-range property 2.5 km from the terminal, offering 15 days parking and a shuttle service. It is the furthest from the terminal in this list, but the shuttle compensates for that. Rates are generally lower than the four-star options, which makes the 15-day parking allowance reasonable value for longer holidays.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Manchester Airport hotel and parking package?
A Manchester Airport hotel and parking package bundles one or more nights of hotel accommodation with a reserved space in the hotel’s car park for the duration of your trip. You stay at the hotel before your outbound flight, travel to the terminal, and your car remains in the hotel car park until you return. It is a way of combining overnight pre-flight accommodation with the cost of airport parking – often cheaper than booking the two separately, particularly for trips of a week or more.
How many days parking is included?
Most hotels at Manchester Airport include 15 days of parking with their park and fly packages. The ibis Manchester Airport is the exception, offering 8 days – suitable for shorter trips but not for a two-week holiday. If you need longer than 15 days, check with individual hotels for extended parking options or additional nightly rates.
Which hotel is closest to Manchester Airport terminal?
The Radisson Blu Manchester Airport is the closest at approximately 300 metres from the terminal. The Hilton Manchester Airport follows at around 500 metres. Both are close enough to walk with luggage, which removes the need to wait for a shuttle and is particularly useful for very early morning departures.
How do I get from the hotel to the terminal?
For the Radisson Blu and Hilton, walking is the practical option given the short distance. The Crowne Plaza, ibis, Premier Inn, and Britannia all operate shuttle services to the terminal. Shuttle frequency and hours vary by hotel – check at booking and again on arrival to confirm pick-up times for your departure, especially if you have an early morning flight.
Is meet and greet parking available at Manchester Airport?
Meet and greet parking – where a driver collects and parks your car at the terminal kerbside – is available at Manchester Airport, but it is provided by the airport’s own parking operators rather than the hotels listed here. Hotel park and fly packages use designated hotel car parks, not the terminal forecourt. If meet and greet is a priority, book it separately through Manchester Airport’s official parking options alongside your hotel.
