Manny Airport by bus
I was looking at getting to Manny Airport on the cheap. I can get the X43 then the 43 from Piccadilly Gardens but does anyone know if you can take cases on these buses?
Re: Manny Airport by bus
If the bus is going to the airport then it would be reasonable to assume that you can.basil6345789 wrote:I was looking at getting to Manny Airport on the cheap. I can get the X43 then the 43 from Piccadilly Gardens but does anyone know if you can take cases on these buses?

Re: Manny Airport by bus
You should be alright if it’s just 1 or 2 cases.
You not thought about just using Max Cabs?
£30/34 from door to door and will be less hassle

Some people might say they’re hit and miss but i’ve never had a problem with them - also when you land you can call them and it puts you straight through to the driver so you can rendezvous.

Re: Manny Airport by bus
Yes I have taxi contacts but this came up in conversation so I thought I'd suss it out. I've got a bus pass and could do it for nowt but it'd obviously be a lot more inconvenient.
Are Max Cabs reliable? I saw a post about them or a similar name not turning up and costing someone their holiday.

I’ve never had a problem with them and used them years - others say they have though.basil6345789 wrote:Yes I have taxi contacts but this came up in conversation so I thought I'd suss it out. I've got a bus pass and could do it for nowt but it'd obviously be a lot more inconvenient.

It could be done - but for costing less, maybe try the bus to Chorlton and cut through the carpark and over the bridge to Piccadilly’s and get a train to the airport.

I often get the x43 to Chorlton Street. Then a 5 min walk to Piccadily Station. Trains every 8/10 mins and takes about 15/20mins.

There’s also the National Express coaches that go to the airport from across the road at Chorlton. The options are endless.

Around £5/6 I think. That’s on Transpenine. About £3 on Northern but Ive had a few cancellations so dont bother with them anymore.piston broke wrote:How much? I get the tram from castlefields. Just over 4quid but takes a lot longer.

Ever tried using Northern Rail on a Saturday?Tribesmen wrote: On a side note transport is fantastic in the UK .
Re: Manny Airport by bus
Do it there and back. About £15/20 return. Whilst the public transport is ok, some prices are shockingly ridiculous. The local bus company are a joke nowadays.Tribesmen wrote:Everytime I go to Burnley this is my route also . On a side note transport is fantastic in the UK .

Re: Manny Airport by bus
Yes you can take cases on the bus. Done it many times. If we have a teatime or early evening flight we get the bus to Manchester, have lunch, then airport bus. Doddle and free with a bus pass. If we have an early flight we use Maxi cabs.
Re: Manny Airport by bus
Get the train from Piccadilly station. Many go from there to that 3rd world airport.basil6345789 wrote:I was looking at getting to Manny Airport on the cheap. I can get the X43 then the 43 from Piccadilly Gardens but does anyone know if you can take cases on these buses?
