Airport Overview

Page sections

Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, often referred to locally as simply Manchester Airport, is a small airport about 5km (3 miles) from Manchester, New Hampshire. It handles roughly four million passengers a year and functions as a low-cost alternative to the airport in Boston, about 50 miles (80km) south and accessible by bus. Flights to Manchester-Boston Regional Airport come in mainly from hubs across the US, although Air Canada also operates a route from Toronto.

The biggest city in the state, Manchester is home to a number of historic sports venues, a few museums and a couple of colleges. There are some beautiful historic buildings in the downtown area, which is experiencing a revival, although most of Manchester-Boston Regional Airport’s traffic is still headed south to Boston and New York City.

No matter where you’re headed, Manchester-Boston is an efficient and friendly gateway to the delights of New England.

Terminal Transfer

This is a small airport with just one terminal. Here's a tip: there are two security checkpoints – one on the ground floor and one on the first floor – and both go to the same place, so if one has long queues, try the other.
