Get your holiday off to a flying start
Jetting off on a family holiday is a real adventure, whether it's your little ones' first time on a plane, or some overdue bonding time with the teenagers.
But there’s a whole journey to do before you arrive at your destination – starting with your airport parking. That’s why we make it easy at Manchester Airport. Not only will booking your parking in advance give you peace of mind and set you up for your trip, but it can save you money too. Here’s how it’s done:
Whatever your budget or length of the trip, we’ve got lots of Short Stay, Mid Stay and Long Stay parking options. Here’s just a selection of what's on offer.
Our super budget-friendly option, JetParks, is great for families who want to keep their travel costs low. The car parks are slightly further away from the terminal buildings, but our free shuttle buses are just a short ride to check-in, and run every 15 minutes.
Distance to terminal - 5-10 minute transfer
Price from £63.99 (8 day stay in February 2025)
Getting all your luggage from the car park to check-in can be challenging when you've got tired little ones in tow! But with Multi Storey car parks located at each terminal, you’ll only ever be a few minutes’ walk from check-in.
Distance to terminal - 1-8 minutes walk
Price from £67.00 (8 day stay in February 2025)
A family-favourite, Meet & Greet gives you a full parking service, so you can focus on your journey ahead. Pull up at a parking bay, drop your keys at reception, and one of our drivers will take your car to an official and highly secure on-site car park. Then it’s just a short walk to your terminal, so you’ll be at check-in before you know it.
Another great option is Drop & Go - there's no need to worry about finding a parking space, simply drop your car and keys at the kiosk, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Distance to terminal - Meet & Greet: 1-2 minutes walk, Drop & Go: T1 & T2 5-10 minute transfer and T3 5 minutes walk
Meet & Greet prices from £81.99 (8 day stay in February 2025), Drop & Go from £71.99 (8 day stay in February 2025)

We get it – no one wants to spend lots on parking! While it might be tempting to put it off until the last minute, prices can increase closer to your trip due to limited availability. So pre-book your parking with us and save up to a massive 77% on the turn up price!
Not only will you save money, but getting organised ahead of time will also give you a much smoother run-up to your holiday.
Want to save even more money? New customers can bag an exclusive 20% off discount code by signing up to our newsletter. If you’ve already signed up, get another family member to register so you can get the maximum discount. That's less money on parking, and more spending money for your trip - it's a win-win!
Waiting in long queues might not be much fun when you have little children to keep entertained! But skip the queue and get exclusive access to the Express Lane with a FastTrack pass! From just £5 per person, you'll be through to Departures in no time, so you and the kids can relax and settle before your flight.
There are lots of family-friendly restaurants at the airport, which you can scope out before you arrive. Family favourites include The Lion and the Antelope, where children can eat for free, and Giraffe, which has a cool kids' menu where you can even build your own breakfast!
Kids getting restless before the flight? The lovable Little Flyers Club is here to save the day! Join the group of lost luggage friends, who are often mistaken as unclaimed baggage, as they adventure through the airport. Print out our fun activity booklets, jam-packed full of puzzles and games.
