If you don’t have the chance to land directly at Liverpool airport, the best alternative is to choose Manchester as your destination. This airport is situated at almost 60 km from Liverpool, and you can find direct connections to the city.
Once you get there, you can choose to reach Liverpool via train or coach.
Once you get there, you can choose to reach Liverpool via train or coach.
If you prefer the train, you just have to reach the station inside Manchester airport. There is a direct connection with Liverpool Lime street station that runs every hour (tickets from £11). You can check fares and timetables at National Rail Enquiries. The journey takes about 1 hour and 10 minutes.
If you opt for the coach, you can board on National Express or Excel Coaches. Both start from the bus station in the airport, but while Excel stops directly in front of Lime Street Station, National Express arrives at the bus station (still not very far from Lime Street). If you need a taxi to get to your final destination, you’ll find plenty of them in both locations. Also note that travelling with National Express is pretty faster (and a bit cheaper £6.30 vs £6.70 for Excel), as they take just 50 minutes to get to Liverpool, while Excel Coaches needs 1 hour and a half.
