Distance and drive time from real road routing. Journey times vary with traffic.
Drop-off and pick-up
Where we leave you, and where we meet you when you come home.
Drop-off
We drop you on the terminal forecourt for your airline: Terminal 2 for every airline except Ryanair, and Terminal 3 for Ryanair. Terminal 1 closed in March 2026, so if your booking still says T1, check with your airline and we'll take you to the terminal it now uses.
Pick-up
Coming home, you message us once you have your luggage and we meet you at the express pick-up point for your terminal, with the car right there. We don't meet you inside the terminal.
Flights tracked, pick-ups timed
We track every flight live with the Flighty app, so we see delays, gate changes and landing times and adjust your pick-up.
Most airlines suggest arriving 2 hours before a short-haul flight. For a 6:00am departure from Manchester Airport, we would usually collect you from Ormskirk at about 2:55am. That allows around 45 minutes for the drive plus a margin for overnight roadworks. We confirm the exact time when you book.
What we see: live position, delays, terminal and gate, so we’re ready at the express pick-up point once you have your bags.

Which way we drive to Manchester Airport
Our usual route is motorway almost all the way. We take the A570 out of Ormskirk to junction 3 of the M58, head east to join the M6 at Orrell (junction 26), go south on the M6 to junction 20 at Lymm, then take the M56 east to junction 5 for the airport. It is about 37 miles and keeps you well clear of Manchester city centre.
The stretch most likely to slow us down is the M6 between junctions 21a and 20, over the Thelwall Viaduct. If that is busy we have two alternatives: the A570 through Rainford to the M62 at junction 7, then east on the M62 and round the M60 to the M56; or the M6 to Croft and the M62 east from there. We check live traffic and overnight closures before we set off and choose the quickest road on the day.
Drop-off and pick-up at Manchester, step by step
Drop-off zone
We pull into the drop-off zone for your terminal, unload your cases and point you to check-in. Terminal 2 handles most airlines and Terminal 3 handles Ryanair.
We track the flight
We watch your flight live, so if it lands early or late we already know and adjust the time we leave Ormskirk.
Express pick-up
Once you have your bags and are through customs, message Paul. He meets you at the express pick-up point for your terminal with the car. We do not come into the arrivals hall.
Look for the black Mercedes with the number plate CH70 FUR. Your first 60 minutes of waiting are free, counted from when your flight actually lands, which covers passport queues and baggage reclaim on most days. If you are held up for longer, extra waiting charges may apply. The details are in our booking policy.

Tips for an early flight from Manchester
- Give us your flight number when you book. We work back from the departure time: about two hours at the airport for short-haul and three for long-haul, plus the drive and a margin.
- Check your terminal the day before. Terminal 1 closed in March 2026, so older bookings can still show T1. Your airline app will have the current terminal.
- Check in online the night before. Save boarding passes to your phone and keep passports in one bag.
- Check the security rules before you pack. Liquid and electronics rules at UK airports have changed in recent years, so check Manchester Airport’s current guidance.
- Bags by the door, porch light on. We load the luggage, so you can lock up and get in.
- Travelling with children? Tell us their ages when you book and the right child seats will be fitted.

- Starlight roof and in-car TV screens. Something to look at for the children, or lights down for a nap.
- On-board fridge and a table. Handy on the way back from a long-haul flight.
- Up to six passengers plus luggage. Room for big cases, golf bags or a folded buggy. Child seats on request.
- Easy to spot. A black Mercedes with the number plate CH70 FUR.
