Direct flights are available from most European cities and many other international airports.
In addition, there is an excellent shuttle service between Manchester and London Heathrow airports. Alternatively you may wish to get a taxi from the Airport. It is best to book your taxi in advance and the driver will meet you at the airport. Taxis are also available directly at the airport, but they may be more expensive. The airport also has a number of car hire agencies, but again it is best to book car hire in advance.
