If
you are making a return trip between London's airports you can combine
return coach transfers between any two airports with a choice of airport
accommodation in one cost saving package.
|
 |
|
|
The
package is really aimed at UK travellers to tempt them onto public
transport when going to the airport for an early flight, instead of
taking the car.
There is nothing to stop you substituting the "home town"
with another airport, creating an airport to airport transfer with
the hotel accommodation.
The restrictions are thus the transfers have to be return, and the
hotel has to be at the airport of the first transfer. |
Coaches
are comfortable long distance coaches with onboard toilets. Most services
run a 24 hour service, 7 days a week.
You can choose from a selection of airport hotels at all budgets.
If you are making just a single journey, you will have to book the
components separately at National
Express for the coach transfer and hotels on the individual
airports pages, see links to the right to the appropriate airport. |

The
airport you are flying into at the start. The drop-down lists many
points throughout the UK.
Departure points for London Airports are :
Heathrow Airport, Central Bus Station (for terminals 1,2,3)
Heathrow Airport, Terminal 5
Gatwick Airport, South Terminal
Luton Airport, outside terminal
Stansted Airport, coach station |
All
airports have well organised coach stations where the National Express
Coaches pick up from.
At Heathrow, a very large modern coach station is situated between
Terminals 1,2,3 with easy, well sign-posted access. Coaches that go
onto Gatwick also stop at Terminal 5. You can take a free transfer
between Terminal 4 and the central area where the coach station is
using the Heathrow Connect train. Similarly the Heathrow EXpress train
runs between Heathrow Central and Terminal 5 free of charge.
At Gatwick the coach station is beneath the South Terminal. There
is a free monorail from the North Terminal if you are arriving there.
Both Luton and Stansted are single terminal airports where the coach
station is immediately in front of the passenger terminal.
