The compact modern terminal at Kent International is right opposite the main car park, where you can park for £30 a week or £7.50 a day. The walk to check in is often less than 100 metres.

In the terminal you will find the wide range of facilities that your would find at any major international airport. These include shops, a restaurant, taxis right outside and Ramsgate Station only five minutes away. There are no endless corridors on the way to the boarding gate, in fact the only delay you could have is being tempted to stop for a coffee in the lounge.

Manston is an easy place to learn flying, it has a very long runway, Runway 10/28, which is 2752 metres long and 61 metres wide.. If you look on the NASA satellite photo of South-East England, then it's an obvious feature. The main runway is long enough for Jumbos and Virgin Atlantic frequently arrive with a 747 to practice.
