Flights to Liverpool
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Liverpool is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Liverpool John Lennon Airport (LPL), 12 km (7 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 7,497 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Manchester Airport (MAN, 47 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Liverpool John Lennon Airport | LPL | 12 km (7 mi) | 7,497 ft | 80 ft |
| Manchester Airport | MAN | 47 km (29 mi) | 10,007 ft | 257 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 7,497 ft, LPL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 80 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
