It lies about 14 miles (22 km) south of Manchester city centre, with the fastest option being the direct rail link (approx. 20–25 minutes) from Manchester Airport train station to Piccadilly; fares can vary by operator and time but are typically moderate. Regular express buses and shuttle coaches are available (roughly 40–60 minutes depending on traffic), while taxis and ride-hailing take around 25–45 minutes at higher cost. Pros: frequent services, extensive facilities and good onward connections; cons: can be busy at peak times and surface travel may be slower from some suburbs.

Located about 15–20 km southeast of Cologne city center, journey times are typically 15–30 minutes by regional train (S-Bahn/RE) or 20–35 minutes by taxi, with train fares generally modest and taxi rides costing more depending on time of day. The airport can be convenient for budget-minded travelers and short-haul connections, while peak periods may mean longer queues for security and fewer premium lounge options than at larger hubs.
