hi..
well i would sat 45 to an hour, but it depends on how bad the traffic is!!

hope i helped

The easiest way to get to the city centre is to take a train. The airport has its own station and there are frequent services (up to 6 per hour) into the city, with a journey time of around 20 minutes.

50 pound, are you having a laugh zjofja06? I can get to Manchester Airport from my house for less than 50 pound and I live about 40 miles away!!!

In a taxi, you could do it in about 30 mins if the traffic was good but I don't know how much it would cost, I normally go in the opposite direction!

As Buenchico says, you would probably be better off getting a train. Or even a bus.

Definately agree with Chris. Take the train. They're frequent enough and a single to Piccadilly will cost you around �8.

While I'm grateful to GeordiePengy for providing his support for my answer (and for proving that I'm not the only nocturnal member of AB!), I have to correct the fare that he's quoted.

The National Rail website quotes journey times, from Manchester Airport to Manchester Piccadilly, of between 15 and 23 minutes, with a single fare of just �3.40.

thanks to everyone i think it will be the train

[GeordiePengy]

Humble apologies to Chris. I apparently was mis-quoted the fare! Still, it's cheaper than �8. I'm happy to stand corrected. Cheers!
