Flying with Air Canada from Manchester Airport? Onward Travel Solutions runs a fixed-price taxi service to and from Terminal 2, quoted before you travel and tracked against your actual flight time rather than the printed schedule. No meter, no card-machine surprises at the kerb, and no charge for a driver waiting if your bags take a while to come through.
Air Canada at Manchester: Which Terminal and What to Expect
Air Canada flights at Manchester use Terminal 2. Tell us your flight number when you book and we’ll match your pickup or meet-and-greet point to that terminal automatically, so there’s no guessing which forecourt or arrivals hall to head for. For up-to-date check-in, baggage and departure information straight from the airline, the official Air Canada website is the best source.
Fixed-Price Fares, Agreed Before You Fly
Every Air Canada transfer we quote is a fixed fare, calculated from your pickup or drop-off address rather than left to a meter running in traffic. That fare doesn’t move if the M25 is slow, if your Air Canada flight lands early, or if the terminal forecourt is busy when you arrive. Corridor and postcode-based pricing means popular routes to and from Manchester are quoted quickly, and every fare includes Manchester’s standard drop-off and pickup charges, so there’s nothing extra to settle on the day.
| Vehicle Class | Typical Fare Tier | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Saloon | £ | 1-3 passengers, standard luggage |
| Estate | ££ | Extra boot space, bulky cases |
| Executive | ££ | Business travel, premium finish |
| People Carrier | £££ | Up to 6 passengers with luggage |
| 8-Seater Minivan | £££ | Larger groups and families |
| Executive Minivan | ££££ | Corporate groups, VIP arrivals |

Meet and Greet, or Straight to the Car
Arriving passengers can choose a driver waiting in the Terminal 2 arrivals hall with a name board (our meet-and-greet option), or a simpler kerbside pickup if you’d rather head straight out. Both include free flight tracking and a waiting-time allowance, so a delayed Air Canada bag-drop or a long queue through border control doesn’t put you at risk of missing your ride.
What’s Included With Every Booking
A fixed, all-in fare with Manchester’s terminal charges already built in, live tracking of your Air Canada flight, free waiting time on arrivals, a confirmed driver and vehicle ahead of travel, and a real phone line if your plans change — not an app queue.
Booking Your Air Canada Transfer in Advance
We take bookings from a few hours’ notice up to several months ahead. For early-morning departures, peak summer dates or group travel, booking in advance guarantees the vehicle class you want. Booking online takes a couple of minutes: your pickup or drop-off address, date, time, Air Canada flight number and passenger count is all we need to confirm your fare.
Local Pickup Points Around Manchester
We collect and drop off across the towns and postcodes that feed into Manchester, running the same fixed-price model whichever direction you’re travelling. If you’re not sure your address is covered, ask when you book and we’ll confirm a fare on the spot.
Business and Corporate Travel
For Air Canada business travellers, an itemised, fixed-price receipt makes expense claims straightforward, and our Executive and Executive Minivan classes suit client pickups or team travel. Frequent flyers and corporate accounts can set up recurring bookings so every Air Canada trip through Manchester is arranged the same way, every time.
