Cheap flights from Manchester to Salzburg

January is the cheapest month on this route, which suits anyone flying after the holidays and before the main ski season peaks. The facts cover fares from October through June and again in September, so you can compare autumn departures against late spring. Expect the destination's summer and school holiday weeks to be pricier than shoulder months; booking midweek departures rather than Fridays usually keeps the fare down.

Ryanair UK and Ryanair lead the low-cost side, joined by Jet2, Easyjet and TUI Airways, all operating direct from Manchester International and selling a basic fare where checked bags and sometimes cabin bags cost extra. Norwegian and Eurowings sit closer to the low-cost end too. For connecting itineraries, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines routes through its own hub, while Scandinavian Airlines and Cityjet appear mainly via connections. What differs between them is what the ticket includes: full-service names carry baggage in the fare, the budget carriers do not.

Land at Wolfgang A Mozart and you are close to town compared with many resort airports, though if you arrive late in the day the bus timetable thins out and a taxi becomes the practical way to the centre. Local buses run from outside the terminal into the city in ordinary hours, and trains serve the wider region from the main station. Watch for winter conditions, when evening road transfers to ski resorts take longer than the flight itself.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Manchester has a single airport, Manchester International, so confirm your departure terminal and time before booking ground transport.
• On low-cost carriers like Ryanair and Easyjet, check which bags the fare includes before adding extras.
• Carry a passport or accepted identity document for entering Austria and confirm it stays valid beyond your stay.
• Check whether your ticket is direct or connects through KLM or another hub, since a missed link on separate tickets is your problem, not the airline's.
• Compare months on the calendar, since January fares look nothing like the destination's summer.
