Trip review: Holiday to Iceland from Manchester with TUI

  • 2
My holiday didn’t start on the day I flew to Iceland but the day before. I caught the train from Leeds to Manchester Airport via Salford with Northern trains (no direct train available) and stayed in the Ibis budget just outside Terminal 2.

As my hotel was pretty much opposite the terminal I was able to use the bag drop in the afternoon which saved me queuing in the morning, though the actual check in queue in the morning...
