GOOD TO KNOW
Everything you need for this journey
01
Meeting point
Before you travel, our team will confirm precisely where your driver will meet you inside the terminal, so there's no wandering about looking for them. They'll also text you on arrival, so you can step off your flight and set off for Manchester with complete ease.
Flying into Stansted, your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a name sign. We'll time their arrival to whatever pickup slot you request after landing, giving you the time you need to clear immigration and collect your baggage. As one of London's busiest airports for European flights, Stansted's arrivals hall can get lively at peak times, so your driver will hold a clearly visible name sign to make finding each other easy. If you're travelling during peak traffic (weekday mornings or evenings), do allow a little extra time for the journey.
02
About Manchester
Manchester was the world's first industrial city, its Victorian cotton mills once earning it the nickname Cottonopolis. Today it's just as well known for its music scene, home to bands like Joy Division, The Smiths, and Oasis, and for two Premier League football clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City.
03
Along the way
Any stop along the route is entirely optional, but if there's anywhere you'd like to see, let us know and we're happy to arrange a detour or waiting time, at an extra cost.
04
Local Knowledge
Manchester hosts frequent major events at venues like the AO Arena, Etihad Stadium, and Old Trafford, which can mean busy traffic and road closures around the city centre. We plan your pickup and drop-off around these where we can.
