Manchester Flight Guide

Manchester is located in the northwest of England and is home to over 480,000 people in the city centre. The metropolis is an important economic centre and attracts tourists from all around the world. Manchester United is the local football team and has made the city famous with its success. Even international star David Beckham once played for Manchester United.

Shopaholics are well served on Market Street where they will find popular fashion chains and designer shops. For those who like it a little more alternative, the Northern Quarter is the right address. It is also a popular nightlife district. Visitors are not going to starve in Manchester which has more than 400 bars, restaurants and pubs in town. Chinatown is also a great place to eat and shop around.

In terms of weather Manchester is ‘typically English’ which means quite humid all year round with only few hours of sun a day. The best time for a city break is the summer between June and August when tourists have a fair chance to stay dry.
Visitors from Australia can fly with Qantas or British Airways but a good alternative is to look for other airlines such as Etihad which offer faster connections via the Middle East rather than Asia or Europe.
