It's not every day that you find yourself heading to Manchester Airport without a ticket, passport or suitcase, intending to catch a flight. However, when reporter Hannah Rees headed out empty-handed to the airport terminal, she was ready to embark on a very big adventure. Offering a unique experience for aviation fans, The Airport Pub is a one-of-a-kind family-friendly restaurant and bar, situated just 50 feet from the runway at Manchester Airport.
It's the perfect location to watch some of the thousands of flights that touch down at the airport annually while dreaming of being away. Offering a broad range of food and drinks, it's also a fantastic place for families to enjoy a unique dining experience, with plenty to keep the little ones entertained for hours on end. Planes and tasty plates await, without even leaving the airport.

Unlike most pubs, patrons are required to pay for parking "due to regulations by Manchester Airport and to ensure our customers have priority as we have a limited number of spaces". Hannah paid £5.
60 for up to three hours of parking, but visitors can opt to pay more for up to a shorter hour-long stay or even up to six hours for a full day watching the planes. Despite being unable to book online - as the restaurant.
