Flying from Manchester to Cochin is a journey that seamlessly connects the UK’s north with the vibrant heart of Kerala, India. Flights typically depart from Manchester Airport (MAN), one of the UK’s busiest hubs, located roughly 9 miles south of the city centre with excellent rail and road connections. These international journeys land at Cochin International Airport (COK), situated about 17 miles northeast of Kochi city, in the town of Nedumbassery.
The average journey time, including layovers, ranges from 12 to 16 hours depending on the airline and stopover duration. Although there are no direct flights, several carriers, such as Emirates, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways, offer one-stop services via their Middle Eastern hubs. Southall Travel collaborates with many of these major airlines to provide competitive pricing, often bundling flexible fares with convenient transit times.
If your onward journey continues within India, you might consider Amritsar as part of your itinerary. While Cochin and Amritsar are on opposite ends of the country, Amritsar Airport (Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport) is located about 7 miles from the city centre. The closest train station to the airport is Amritsar Junction, just under 6 miles away, offering good rail connectivity to cities across northern India.
