Meet & Greet Service for under 16s

Meeting and transfer from Manchester or Liverpool Airport to the homestay and back to the airport at the end of the course, with a named driver who will escort the student at all times until the airline takes over the responsibility. A return Meet & Greet transfer costs £160.00 per student. We require students under 16 travelling alone to use the Meet & Greet service if they are not being met independently by family or friends.

Please note the regulations of some low-cost airlines may prevent certain age groups from travelling on their own. It is the responsibility of parents to check this when booking flights.

Students under 18 should also carry with them a parental letter of consent to travel (proforma available from the school) and a copy of their offer letter for the course, as they may be required to show these on entry to the UK.
