Welcome to...........Crystal Cars

Airports These photos underline our experience when it comes to airport runs. We also have a dedicated airport transfer website at : www.airportconnect.info for our 'flying' passengers to visit We are currently doing in excess of 100 airport 'transfers' a year, countrywide, covering around 70,000 miles! Quite often we will have our breakfast, lunch or tea at our two busiest airports, Manchester & Leeds/Bradford as we drop off & then wait for a flight coming in. Theres an extremely good aviation viewing park at Manchester Airport, towards the end of the runway, where Concorde is parked up. An ideal way to pass a few hours .............Crystal Cars operate a professional Meet & Greet service. Your holiday starts when we pick you up ! You are dropped off at the terminal door & on your return we will be in the arrivals hall ready to take you & your luggage back to our vehicle for a relaxing journey home ! " Door to plane & back again ." Thats what its all about & thats what we do ! Perhaps your favourite airport is shown here. We visit 16 of the major airports in the UK on a regular basis & have got to know many of their 'ways' over the years. If you're looking for an airport, or cruiseport, specialist then look no further ! MANCHESTER AIRPORT....T2 ![]() T2 Departures. My most popular airport. Always coming here, sometimes 3x a day ! MANCHESTER AIRPORT....T2 ![]() T2 Arrivals. I spend alot of time here. Good arrivals screens, clean toilets (important), shop, good-sized waiting area. Because we're here so often we qualify for a parking concession card that gives us better access to all of Manchesters carparks, T1-T2 & T3. This enables us to avoid queues at pay machines enabling a quicker getaway. Several carparking bays are set aside for concession card holders, very handy ! MANCHESTER AIRPORT.....T3. The BRITISH AIRWAYS Terminal........05:25am ![]() Quite a busy terminal for us. All of British Airways flights leave from T3 (up to press) along with many other airlines. Attached to T1 so all T1 facilities are available to T3 travellers SAS RADISSON HOTEL, MANCHESTER AIRPORT......21:45pm ![]() The Radisson is very handily placed in the centre of the airport. Other airport hotels to consider 'overnighters' are....BEWLEYS....CROWNE PLAZA.....HILTON. All convenently situated on the airport campus. LEEDS/BRADFORD AIRPORT......18:55pm ![]() One of my favourite airports. Another airport where we have a carparking concession card. This gives us affordable access into the Express carpark right next to the arrivals hall (currently this facility has been removed due to security concerns.) Thers a nice cafe' upstairs with viewing windows. Downstairs theres a Greggs bakeshop....mmmmmm very handy LEEDS/BRADFORD AIRPORT ![]() This shot shows the JET2 departures hall, very popular are JET2. All our customers have been satisfied with them. More destinations on the cards. Good news for ALL of us ! NEWCASTLE AIRPORT........06:40am ![]() Another of my favourite airport runs. Up the A19, turn left, past the ANGEL OF THE NORTH & you're nearly there. Just say you're a friend of Alan Shearer. NEWCASTLE AIRPORT ![]() The new check-in hall. Spacious, bright & airy. NEWCASTLE AIRPORT ![]() The arrivals point. We park our vehicle in the short stay carpark so we can be away quite quickly. DURHAM/TEES VALLEY AIRPORT....formely TEESSIDE AIRPORT ![]() Taken at 04:55am. Another airport to undergo a major refurbishment programme. Nicely laid out, very clean. LIVERPOOL-JOHN LENNON-AIRPORT ![]() "ABOVE US ONLY SKY". Liverpools motto says it all ! You know you've arrived in life when you have an airport named after you !! LIVERPOOL AIRPORT...TERMINAL BUILDING ![]() Gets very busy at peak times. Some cheap flights can be had here. Ryannair, EasyJet etc HUMBERSIDE AIRPORT.......19:30pm ![]() The smallest of the regional airports we visit. A lovely country run followed by a trip over the Humber Bridge & then on to the airport. The planes are so close when they land you can wave at the pilots....bizzare ! DONCASTER-ROBIN HOOD AIRPORT ![]() Another steady run, no motorways ! The newest of the regional airports. Very modern in design outside & inside. I'm sure Donny' airport will "take off"....sorry, couldn't resist that one ! Well worth considering as a holiday airport. EAST MIDLANDS AIRPORT.........05:05am ![]() This airport is much underused by us 'up int north'. Has recently undergone a facelift & is a lovely airport. Has one of the best Aviation shops i've seen at any airport, models, books, scanners, aviation stuff, very very good. HEATHROW AIRPORT.....T3 departures.......06:15am ![]() The daddy of them all. We do Heathrow on a regular basis, mainly T3 & T4. We park in the new multi-storey at the very top which is so high you can see the new Wembley Stadium & it's famous arch. Always busy here but hey......it is Heathrow ! HEATHROW T5. 10:30 am ![]() VERY BIG, VERY IMPRESSIVE. WE LIKE IT! LUTON AIRPORT.........16:20pm ![]() Not one of our busier airport runs, nevertheless a busy airport. Another airport to undergo a refurbishment programme. EasyJet are massive here, orange planes everywhere. That reminds me....Stelios owes me £5.......yeah dream on ! STANSTED AIRPORT ![]() Stansted has had some bad press over the years, don't know why. As you can see from the photo it looks quite modern & has an up to date feel about the place.Ryannair is a big player here. Loads of shops inside for you to spend that hard earnerd cash. Believe me Stansted is an ok airport. GATWICK AIRPORT... NORTH TERMINAL......around midday ![]() Round the M25 & onto the M23 & we're there (doesn't sound so far saying it like that!) It's a big airport & a busy one at that. Can be quoted on when required. BIRMINGHAM AIRPORT......T1 ![]() Birmingham airport is only about 50 mins further than Manchester airport. It has a very large catchment area & can be abit hectic at pickup times. We park out of the way in the short-stay car park close to the arrivals halls. |
