Could anyone please recommend a reliable private hire airport transfer, Skipton/Keighley area to Manchester?

It was actually cheaper for the wife and I to give my lad some petrol money, get him to drop us off and pick us up, and stay in a hotel at the airport the night before, than it was to get a return transfer, and that's only from the Bolton side of Darwen!!

They want crazy money these days....

I'm definitely beginning to agree with you there!

Probably be quicker and cheaper to get the train to Bradford and on to Manchester, then airport.

Transpennine!

Arguably the most unreliable service in the country.

The motorways to get you there aren't exactly reliable.

It took us an hour and 15 minutes to get to Manny airport from Padiham 6 weeks ago.

I download the welcome taxi app. They supply airport transfers in 250 places worldwide, they will supply a local company and update the vehicle,numberplate and drivers name. I've used them all over the world and can't recommend them more highly.

Maybe we should start a Clarets on Tour style service where you post the times you want to get dropped off and picked up from the airport and see if anyone on here can take you for the price of the fuel and drop off fee.
