Meeting your driver at Liverpool Airport
Your driver tracks the flight and waits in the arrivals hall with your name on a sign. The first 60 minutes after landing are free and airport parking is already in the price, so a long passport or baggage queue costs you nothing. Liverpool John Lennon has a single terminal in Speke, south-east of the city. There is no railway station at the terminal; the nearest is Liverpool South Parkway, a short bus ride away.
Going back to the airport
For the journey from Chester to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, most travellers book a pickup about 3 hours before a short-haul flight and an hour earlier for long-haul. After the drive of about 45 minutes, that leaves around 2 hours 15 minutes at the airport for check-in, bag drop and security. Choose "Return" on the booking form to reserve both journeys at once, with a discount on the second.
