Liverpool Airport began back in 1928 with the first flight taking off in 1933. The airport recently celebrated its 75th birthday and is one of the fastest growing airports in the UK (serving 6 million passengers per year), and a viable alternative to the London airports for many passengers. With flights to over 60 destinations (domestic and European) from the leading UK budget airlines, Liverpool Airport helps make worldwide travel accessible for as many people as possible whatever the budget.

Rebranded in 2002 as Liverpool John Lennon Airport, the Liverpool Airport was proud to win the 2007 UK Airport of the year in recognition of the redevelopment, investment and increase in passenger numbers. The airport is from Liverpool city centre via the A561 in around 30 minutes and Southport (the seaside resort) is around 1 hour away and the city of Manchester just 1 hour away driving depending on traffic. The M56 and M62 motorways are close by giving good road access from all areas.

The closest train station for Liverpool Airport is Liverpool South Parkway. There is a regular express shuttle bus operating between the airport to the train station. Bus passengers can board outside the airport terminal building to connect to the train station and other local bus services. A taxi costs around £15.00 into the city centre.

Secure and convenient airport parking is provided with all car parks on site (not out of sight like some airports). You can park your own car, keep your keys with you and there is no need to hang around for a courtesy bus to get back to your car when you arrive back from your trip.

The Halewood International Executive Lounge is located in the departure lounge and open for departing passengers just a couple of minutes walk from the main departure gates. Offering discerning business and leisure passengers a peaceful refuge from the hustle and bustle of the modern airport. Open 0430 to 2000 daily, the new Lounge provides comfortable leather seating, a bar area with complimentary beers, wines and spirits, beverages, soft drinks and snacks, free newspapers and magazines, Wi-Fi, internet access, telephone and fax facilities.
