Currently, there are no direct flights from Manchester to Basrah, but there are a few airlines that offer one-way flights from Manchester to Basrah that make one stop along the way. British Airways offer Manchester to Basrah flights that stop off in Doha and take about 17 and a half hours to complete the journey. Turkish Airlines also offer flights on this route, and they tend to take about 12 and a half hours, stopping off in Istanbul. This is one of the fastest options available. The Emirates flight that stops off in Dubai is one of the more expensive options available, but it takes about 17 hours, so it is faster than some of the other options. What is the best way to get in and out of airports in Manchester and Basrah? Getting to Manchester Airport (MAN) is relatively easy as there are a few different connections available on public transport. A popular option to get to Manchester Airport from the city centre is to take the express train, which leaves from Manchester Piccadilly Station roughly every 10 minutes. It operates every day of the year, and it takes about 20 minutes to arrive at the airport. Another option is to take the Stagecoach bus, which is cheaper but slower; a benefit of the bus is that it operates 24/7, so even if you need to get to the airport very early in the morning, you can. A taxi is a more expensive yet convenient way to get to the airport, and it is usually faster than the bus. Basra International Airport (BSR) does not have any public transport options for getting to the city centre apart from taxis. There are plenty of taxis to choose from, and the typical journey to the city centre will take about 25 minutes. There is a bus that runs from the city centre to the airport, but it does not run from the airport to the city centre. What are the benefits of the different airports in Manchester and Basrah? Manchester Airport is an airport that caters to the city of Manchester, and due to its good public network connections, it is the main choice of airport if you are planning on travelling from this city. It is one of the busiest airports in the United Kingdom, and so it can sometimes suffer from long queues and busy terminals; generally that is outweighed by the wide variety of international destinations you can fly to and the airlines that provide the flights. Basra International Airport is the second largest airport in Iraq, and it offers direct flights to most of the countries in the Middle East, a few in North Africa (such as Egypt) and neighbouring countries such as Turkey. It is close to the city, and despite the lack of public buses or trains, it has a steady stream of taxis available with standardised prices. It can get busy, as it is the main airport catering for the main port city in Iraq, but generally the variety of destinations and airlines that it provides outweighs this.

Which cities can you reach easily once you arrive at Basrah?

If you are interested in visiting some of the cities that are close to Basrah, then we recommend that you take a taxi to Az Zubayr. A taxi will take you about 20 minutes, depending on traffic, and there are currently no buses or trains available for this route. A common way to travel around Iraq is to take shared taxis, and this is because many trains and buses do not operate outside of the city limits. For this reason, if you would like to visit Nasiriyah (a city that is close to Basrah), then we suggest you take a taxi or a shared taxi. The journey will take about two hours to complete.

Flight duration, scheduling, and layovers are among the considerations that may influence age limits. We recommend that you double-check with the airline you are booking with for travel from Manchester Airport to Basra Airport.
