Manchester Airport (MAN) is the North West’s primary international hub, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines for short- and long-haul routes. It’s about 13 miles (20–25 km) south of the city centre, with the fastest option usually being the direct train to Manchester Piccadilly taking roughly 15–20 minutes; fares can vary depending on advance purchase or railcards. Buses and shuttle coaches take around 35–50 minutes and are often the more budget-friendly option, while taxis or rideshares can be 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: frequent long-haul connections, good rail links and on-site facilities; cons: can be busy at peak times and transfers between terminals may add walking or shuttle time.

Samarkand International Airport (SKD) serves as the main gateway to Uzbekistan’s historic city and typically functions as a modest international hub rather than a large, full-service global airport. The airport mainly handles flights from regional carriers and a handful of scheduled international airlines, with budget and national operators commonly seen. It lies about 6–8 km southeast of the city center, so transfer times are short — taxis and private transfers normally take 15–25 minutes, while local buses can be 30–45 minutes with lower fares. Pros include quick access to the old town and generally simple, compact facilities; cons are limited lounge and shopping options and fewer late-night flight choices compared with larger hubs.
