Recommended Posts

We are on Britannia March 2018 for the translantic crossing.As we are flying from Manchester we have opted for the complimentary coach transfer from Southampton to Manchester Airport.Does anyone know roughly what time we will arrive at tha airport and also where the coach drops you(We are hoping to catch the train from the airport) :)

We have done this cruise twice and usually arrived back at Manchester Airport between 3-4pm. This year the coaches departed Southampton over a period of 1-2hrs so times might vary a bit.

 

One thing to bear in mind is if your flight is with Thomas Cook you will fly from Terminal 1 but the coach is only allowed to drop off at Terminal 2 due to security. If you have parked your car at Terminal 1 you will have a bit of a trek through the airport with your luggage back to Terminal 1.

Thank you.Thats really helpful.We will probably get a taxi to pick us up from Terminal 2.Is there a coach drop off point that we could direct the driver to pick us up from?

The coach takes you to the drop off only area at Terminal 2. I think your best bet would be to go into the terminal building and make your way to the Arrivals hall and get the taxi driver to meet you there like they would if you had flown back.

 

I am not sure if the taxi driver would be able to go to the drop off area to pick you up from there as they re not allowed to wait. Maybe have a word with the taxi company and see what they suggest.

 

Hope you have a wonderful cruise.

Same as FAB 1 , we also have been twice. The first with Thomas Cook and as stated we was dropped off at Terminal 2 but needed to get back to Terminal 1 Long Stay Car Park.

We just explained to a Car Park bus driver and he just radioed the correct bus which diverted and picked us up.

The time back was almost 4pm .

 

Our second was Thomson Dreamliner at Terminal 2 , so we used Terminal 2 Long Stay Car Park.

The coach dropped us off and we found the car park bus easy to locate .

We got back around 3.30 that time.

I seem to remember that the coach driver also offered some passengers to stay on and he would run them

around to the train station and coach park area.

I think we board 3 March the day after you leave? We are doing a back to back so staying on until we reach Southampton.Looking forward to visiting some new ports:) We sail to the Greek Isles this September on Azura.

Ann :)
