Ringways Airport Pick-Up

[Richard A Thackeray]

I have to go here later this evening........... sorry, I'm a traditionalist, it's 'Manchester', to most peopleL
Likewise, I always refer to Yeadon Airport, some of our younger staff have travelled through Yeadon itself to get to the airport, but tell me they've "Been To Leeds-Bradford Airport, But Didn't Know Yeadon Has An AIrport

'Up To Press', it's showing as a 22:24 touchdown, but to avoid paying too much in the car-parks, can anyone suggest somewhere local to plot-up & wait, so I can spend minimal time there
I might come the M56 at the next junction & park up in the edge of Hale, unless one of you has another suggestion

At least it's not foggy, like last Saturday, when I was there for 06:00

Thanks, I'll have a look at OS mapping

I guess I could always just stop at Birch Services, before committing to the M60, at the next junction

 

[presta]

it's 'Manchester

No, it's on Leeds ring road at Low Wortley

I always refer to Yeadon Airport

Me too, like Barrow House instead of Derwentwater, High Cross Castle instead of Windermere, & High Close Instead of Langdale YHA.

Yes it is, Evens Helpus are on the opposite side of the ring road flogging Citroens

Ringway to me! I used to go and watch the Aer Lingus flight take off when I was a kid

 

[DCBassman]

Jeepers, old airport names! Another internet rabbit hole to explore.

 

[Richard A Thackeray]

Indeed, the other around here is Finningley Airport

 

[Chislenko]

Me also,

Ringway for Manchester

Speke for Liverpool

But there again I still call a pub in town The Axe even though it has had a different name for at least two decades!

It's Manchester to the locals. You are a bit knackered for parking/pickup these days. It's sometimes cheaper to use the short stay carpark near T3 than the pickup. It's easy for us as we await a call that family are at bag collection, then we set off from home as only 10 miles from the Airport.
