It is only 14 kilometres away and is located in Ringway. This airport has three terminals and serves millions of passengers from across the world.

Flights from Manchester to Barcelona take off from Manchester Airport, which was officially opened in 1938. However, it was partially opened in 1937 and has remained operational ever since. This airport was used as a RAF base during World War II and is the second busiest airport in England after Heathrow Airport in London.

Getting to Manchester airport

Manchester Airport can be reached by a number of methods. To catch Manchester to Barcelona flights, arrive at the Manchester Piccadilly Station in the centre of the city and take the TransPennine Express to reach the Manchester Airport Railway Station at the airport. Another option is to take bus 43 from Central Manchester. You can also arrive at Cornbrook Station and take the Metrolink to the airport. An easier and more comfortable option is to take a taxi from wherever you are, but this may prove to be a little expensive.
