Why would I fly into Luton instead of Manchester Airport?
Manchester Airport is obviously much closer to the city at just 10 miles. However, Luton often offers different route options, budget airline choices from carriers like easyJet, Wizz Air, and Ryanair, and significantly cheaper flight prices—especially for European destinations. The money saved on flights can easily offset our comfortable fixed-fare taxi transfer, making Luton a smart choice for savvy travellers.
flight_land
What happens if my flight at Luton is delayed?
Don't worry—we track your flight in real-time using live flight data. If your aircraft is delayed, your driver will automatically adjust their arrival time at no extra cost to you. We also include 60 minutes of free waiting time from when your flight actually lands, giving you plenty of time to collect luggage and clear customs. There are absolutely no penalty charges for flight delays.
route
What route do you take from Luton Airport to Manchester?
We take the most efficient motorway route via the M1 northbound to the M6. From Luton Airport, we join the M1 and travel north past Milton Keynes, Northampton, Leicester, and Nottingham. We then join the M6 near Birmingham and continue north past Stoke-on-Trent before taking the M56 or M60 into Manchester. For destinations in South Manchester, we may exit earlier for the most direct approach.
stadium
Can you take me to Old Trafford or Etihad Stadium on match day?
Absolutely! We regularly transport football fans to both Old Trafford (Manchester United) and the Etihad Stadium (Manchester City). Our drivers know the best drop-off points and understand match day traffic patterns. We recommend booking well in advance for big fixtures. Whether you're flying in for a Premier League game, Champions League night, or a concert at the stadiums, we'll get you there on time and pick you up afterwards if needed.
