Wallasey sits at the northern tip of the Wirral peninsula, overlooking the Mersey estuary. Plan your private airport transfer from Wallasey to Liverpool or Manchester Airport.
Wallasey sits at the northern tip of the Wirral peninsula, overlooking the Mersey estuary and the Irish Sea. The town includes the seaside resort of New Brighton, the residential areas of Liscard, Egremont and Seacombe, and the ferry terminal at Seacombe. For airport travel, Wallasey's position at the northern end of the Wirral means the journey to either Liverpool or Manchester Airport involves travelling south through or around Birkenhead.
Getting to the airport from Wallasey
From Wallasey, the most common route to Liverpool John Lennon Airport is via the Kingsway (Wallasey) Tunnel under the Mersey, joining the A5036 and A561 through south Liverpool to the airport. The Kingsway Tunnel connects Wallasey directly to the Liverpool road network, making it the natural choice for airport journeys.
For Manchester Airport, the route typically runs south through Birkenhead to the M53, then via the M56 to the airport. Journey times from Wallasey to Manchester Airport are longer than from the southern Wirral, so early departures benefit from the clear motorway conditions in the early hours.

Manchester Airport from Wallasey

New Brighton and coastal Wallasey
New Brighton, at the very tip of the Wirral peninsula, is a popular residential and visitor area. Collections from New Brighton and the coastal parts of Wallasey are available, with the route to the airport planned around the Kingsway Tunnel or the M53 depending on the destination airport.
