Q. have time to kill before booking into hotel also would it be best to go to city centre for few hours or trafford centre, thanks.
A. Getting to the city centre from the Airport is easy - just get a train from the airport railway station to Manchester Piccadilly. Trains should be every few minutes (at worst 15mins) during the day. It should take 10 - 15 mins to get to the city centre
Getting to the Trafford Centre is probably quite a bit harder. You need to get the No 18 bus from the Airport to the Trafford Centre. The service goes every 30 mins and takes about 1hr to get to the Trafford Centre (timetable is below)
Personally, I prefer the city centre, but different people have different tastes.
NOTE: I might have misunderstood Quizard's answer, however, there is currently NO Metrolink connection to the airport. The connection/station doesn't open for another 3 years. The Trafford Centre doesn't have a metrolink station either, and probably never will.

What are the best places/spots in Greater Manchester for photography?
Q. I'm planning to visit Manchester and surrounding areas on a photography trip, to try some photography with my Nikon 3100 DSLR. Can anyone please give me some pointers to some nice places / towns where I can shoot some cool pics? Thanks.
A. Someone must have spat in poor guiri's beer once in our great city.....Any chance to knock us.......Based on what we ask?....GM is a varied place.....Have the cityscape of Manchester City Centre ( Town Hall/Albert Square, Midland Hotel, Corn Exchange (Triangle), Royal Exchange, Beetham Tower etc etc etc........) and Salford Quays etc......and country areas, out towards places like Haigh Hall, in Wigan, areas north of Bolton, Ramsbottom in Bury etc......NOT forgetting the Moors above Oldham and Ashton and Dunham, out by Altrincham....Heaton Park..... THE largest municipal park in Europe and just 10 minutes from the city centre?!! Even some unlikely places, like CURRY MILE, in Rusholme lend themselves to photographing surely? An area with 2.6 million IS a pretty varied place.....Try telling that to guiri in the spanish sun....Is very aging on the old skin though......!!
PEAK DISTRICT is CLOSE but NOT in GM as such.......
