How much is a taxi from Irlam to Manchester Airport?
Prices start from £39 in a Saloon Car. An Estate Car is from £40 and a People Carrier is from £45. These are weekday starting prices. You’ll see the exact price for your date and time before you book, and that’s the price you pay.
How long does it take to get from Irlam to Manchester Airport?
It’s about 14.4 miles by road and usually takes around 25 min in normal traffic, usually via the M60 and M56. Allow extra time at rush hour, and add the time you need at the airport before your flight.
What time should I leave Irlam for a 6am flight?
Most airlines ask you to be at the airport about 2 hours before a short-haul flight and 3 hours before a long-haul one. For a 6am short-haul flight that means arriving by 04:00. The drive is about 25 min, and roads are quiet at that hour, so a pickup at about 03:20 leaves 15 minutes spare. For long-haul, about 02:20. Check your airline’s own advice.
