The choice is between Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool airports - unless you want to go even further afield, that is, in which case, check out our airport map to find out more.

Birmingham Airport has a pretty good choice of destinations, especially for those wanting to travel to and from Europe, some parts of the Middle East and the former Soviet Union, as well as services to New York (Newark).

Manchester, with 90-odd airlines operating services, has probably the best choice of all - and there are far too many destinations to list. Chances are, if you want to fly to somewhere not covered by the other two airports, you'll find a service from Manchester.

Liverpool Airport, recently renamed in honour of former Beatle John Lennon, is a much smaller operation but it's a departure point for two of the biggest budget airlines flying to Europe's most popular holiday destinations, so it shouldn't be ignored.

Our guide includes all the destinations currently served by each of the three airports, and the airlines operating from them. Most of the airline websites include online booking facilities.

For the latest information on arrivals and departures from each of the three airports, click on the links in the left hand panel of the page.

And if you want information on any of the other main airports in England, you'll find links to their websites at the bottom of the page.
