Getting there and away
Bolton is located in the greater Manchester region of North West England. It is situated about 10 miles (16.1 km) northwest of the city of Manchester in the Borough of Bolton. Because of its proximity to Manchester, Bolton is well served by rail, bus and air. The Reebok Stadium is located 4 miles west of Bolton town center.

By Air
If you are going to fly to see Bolton play, you will likely arrive at Manchester International Airport, the largest airport in England outside of London. SkyEurope, Jet2.com, Flybe and other budget airlines fly to Manchester from London and from destinations throughout Europe, making it one of the more affordable places to fly in England.

Airfare to Manchester will be the cheapest on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday. Mondays are popular with business travelers and weekends are key dates for holidaymakers wanting the longest trips possible - avoid these dates. Consider traveling on a lesser-known carrier. British Airways is the national airline. However, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa, Aer Lingus and other airlines also stop in Manchester.

The most expensive air tickets to Manchester are found during peak holiday travel times, such as the summer Eurail season. Also be aware of national events or festivals, which can also cause ticket prices to rise.

You can also fly to Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport, which is also the home of many budget airlines and less than an hour away from Bolton.

By Train
Bolton is located on the Manchester loop of the West Coast Mainline and is served by Virgin West Coast trains passing through Manchester Picadilly station. There are regular commuter services between most of the local stations and Manchester. If you are planning to travel by rail in England, you can often save money by purchasing a BritRail pass.

Horwich Parkway railway station serves Reebok Station from Bolton’s main station (5 minutes walk).
