Thanks in advance

Had no idea what a meet and greet company was, so Googled it.
Is this the kind of thing you are after: http://www.elitevaletparking.co.uk/ ?

Don't know if they are any good though. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/watchdog/2010/10/airport_parking.html (Horror stories)

The long stay car parks at Manchester do have buses to the terminals.

Where are you travelling from - could the train be an option..

Do yourself a favour OP - find a nearby airport car park with a bus link that you can park at and RETAIN YOUR KEYS - not all do this but plenty do.

I've only ever used NCP Flightpath @ Glasgow (I don't know if there's one at Manchester?) and it's exactly what I want - book online, park where you choose, get onto the bus with your keys in your pocket.

Cant remember who we used unfortunately but it was great.

As we stayed in a hotel nearby, we booked the cases in at the airport the night before our flight meaning we didnt have to go in as early.

Guy came to our hotel in the morning, came with us to the terminal and dropped us off.

On return we called them once we got to the luggage claim area and the guy was waiting outside for us. Jumped into car then away (he went to the gate and paid the fee to get us out). All fo £10 more than parking ourself.

Ideal after a 9 1/2 hour flight with a 3 hour drive back home again.

Last time I went I stayed at the Premier Inn at MAN, and they offered parking for £5 a day, they also had shuttle buses to the airport for £3 ish

Hi guys thanks for your replies

The train is not an option due to carppy flight times.

I will just have to google and hope that i get a good deal.Thanks again for your help

You can stay at the Radisson and parking's included. No need for a drive to the airport as it's just a stroll over the link bridge.

When we flew from Manchester last October the flight was 6am take off so 4am check in. we decided that a hotel was a bit of an extravagance in view of the check in time, we would spend very little time in the room before getting up at 3am ish.

The idea of catching a bus to a remote location after a long flight before a 90 minute drive didn't appeal either.

I've used meet and greet in the past and was stranded at Heathrow after an 11 hour flight for nearly an hour because the car parking company was short staffed. Also I wasn't happy with where it may have been parked.

So we ended up booking the multistorey next to the terminal which worked very well, especialy with a discount code .

10 mins from parking to check in and coming back the longest part was waiting for a lift to the upper levels.

A bit more than a bus ride car park but less than a room at a hotel on airport. It worked for us.
