At NCP Manchester Flightpath (formerly Peter Ashley Park & Ride), we pride ourselves on being the nearest independent car park to the terminals, ensuring your journey from your car to the check-in desk is as quick as possible.
We know that navigating Manchester Airport can be confusing, especially with multiple terminals. This guide breaks down exactly how our seamless Park & Ride service will get you directly to your flight's gate, whether you're departing from Manchester Airport Terminal 1, Terminal 2, or Terminal 3. We’ll also cover how to get back to your vehicle upon your return.
Before you jump on the shuttle, remember to check in, leave your keys with us, and head to our customer lounge to await the shuttle. To ensure a smooth journey, we recommend booking your parking slot at least 3 hours before your flight’s departure.
The fast, 5-minute transfer will take you directly to the designated drop-off point for your Manchester Airport terminal. Since we offer a direct service, there are no stops to pick up other passengers—it’s straight to the door!
Terminal 1 is one of the busiest hubs at Manchester Airport, and getting there from our facility couldn't be simpler. Once you have checked your vehicle in with our team, the dedicated transfer bus will depart swiftly.
When you arrive at Terminal 1, the driver will drop you off at the designated shuttle stop:
Manchester Airport Terminal 1 Bus Stop: Stop E
Please make note of the bus stop as our shuttle bus will pick you up from Stop E if you’re flying back into Terminal 1.
For those departing from Terminal 2, which often is home to long-haul international flights, our fast transfer ensures you're on your way quickly.
When you arrive at Terminal 2, the driver will drop you off at the designated shuttle stop:
Manchester Airport Terminal 2 Bus Stop: Stop H
This is an essential piece of information to note, as it will also be your pick-up point on your return journey. This makes your Manchester Airport terminal 2 experience seamless.
If you are flying with airlines that primarily use Terminal 3, rest assured the transfer is just as quick and efficient.
Your dedicated drop-off point at the smallest of the three terminals is:
Manchester Airport Terminal 3 Bus Stop: Stop C
Whether your flight is from T1, T2, or Manchester Airport Terminal 3, our system is designed for maximum efficiency, making your start to the trip completely stress-free.
