Manchester Airport, one of the busiest airports in the north of England, is about eight miles from the centre of the city. Trains to the airport run seven days a week, every 10min, and take about 20min to make the trip. Otherwise you can use the Stagecoach bus service that runs 24/7. Sydney Kingsford Smith Airport is also a major international transport hub, the busiest airport in Australia. It’s about five miles from the city centre.
