Finding Flights to the UK

Unless clearly stated on your invoice, All Beatles Tours begin in London and will end in Liverpool. The closest International Airport to Liverpool is Manchester Airport. 

 

Unless your travel plans call for otherwise,

  • Plan to arrive London Heathrow [LHR] or London Gatwick [LGW] airports.

  • Plan to depart from Liverpool from Manchester Airport [MAN]

For London arrivals we, optionally, offer car service from either London Heathrow [LHR] or London Gatwick [LGW] Airports at a special price which we subsidize.  Contact us if you arrive LGW.

Best kept secret... you can cancel international flights within 24 hours.

 

London Hotel check in is usually 3pm. Although our hotels will check you in early, if your room is available but you cannot count on it. Your options are... 1. find a cozy spot to the side of the hotel bar and take a nap or 2. Get a London Underground pass or Uber and enjoy London for a few hours. Your hotel receptionist can assist you.

 

Our Advice for finding best flights...

  • Search Kayak.com or Google Flights to get a general idea of the airlines that are offering the best prices, convenience and flight duration. 

  • To book a flight to arrive London and depart Manchester Airports, set your journey type to 'Multi-Destination' [sometimes referred to as 'Multi-City']. This is usually the first entry made to begin a search.​​

  • If a direct flight is not available or too costly, filter search for 1-stop and the search will display both direct and 1-stop flights.

 

  • When booking a flight with one stop [or more], be sure to allow yourself at least 2 hours between flights, 4 hours is good for international flights that board early.  

  • When searching for flights, be mindful of the full duration of your travel time [including layover]. We've seen where price look good BUT... looooong time to get there.

  • Consider price along with travel convenience, duration, and # stops.  A few hours more may save you a good deal of money. You may want weigh a 2 [or even 3] stop flight against the cost of a direct flight. Sometimes the savings is significant. Use care to you allow yourself plenty of layover time between flights.

  • After you have searched 3rd party booking engines i.e., Kayak and Google, try checking flights directly on the airline's website.
