How to take the hassle out of airport travel with National Express

Published: 3rd July 2024

 

We all love going on a good old summer holiday don't we? But if there’s one thing we all dread when it comes to going away to catch the rays, it has to be airport travel.

Rounding everyone up in taxis, lugging your bags onto the train, those outrageous airport parking fees, and don’t even get us started on the queues!

Lucky for you, we offer direct routes to all the major UK and London airports from hundreds of towns and cities across the country. Here are just five (of many) reasons why your next holiday should start with National Express…

 

Take advantage of the convenience

With hundreds of daily journeys directly to and from all major airports (over 100 services daily on specific routes), you can wave goodbye to the hassle of changing trains and lugging luggage between platforms! We drop you off and pick you up right at the airport terminal, so there's no need for shuttle buses upon arrival or lengthy walks with heavy suitcases. It's the convenient, stress-free way to kick-start your holiday and equally end it the same way too.

And don’t forget to take advantage of our generous luggage allowance. Each adult passenger can bring two 20kg suitcases and one piece of hand luggage, ensuring you have everything you need for your journey- we wouldn't want you to forget anything.

Benefit from our great value fares

Our direct airport fares start at just £5.00* one-way. That's unbeatable value compared to the steep prices of airport parking for a week or more.

*Lowest fares limited to availability. £1 booking fee applies.

Flexibility, if you need it

Don't stress about missing your train home or dealing with last-minute taxi issues!

We understand that flights can be unpredictable with delays and cancellations. With our direct coach service to and from the airport, you can count on us to pick you up and get you home, even if your flight gets delayed - never fear, we’re always here.

Our standard airport fares offer flexibility to change your departure time for a small fee. Opt for our fully flexible fare for unlimited amendments before travel. For added peace of mind, consider our 'Change and Go' add-on for just £5 per adult and £2.50 per child each way when booking online, allowing you to board any available coach up to 12 hours before or after your planned departure time.- We told you we’ve got you covered.

 

Enjoy our on-board entertainment

Long gone are the days of “are we there yet?” with our on-board free Wi-Fi.

Keep the boredom at bay for not just the kids but the adults too, with a variety of TV shows, movies, news, and games to enjoy while we handle the first leg of your holiday journey. 

And don't fret about your phone or tablet battery—every one of our coaches is equipped with plug sockets for your convenience.

Sit back and relax

For your comfort and convenience, our luxury coaches feature comfy leather seats with footrests, WiFi, air conditioning, plug sockets, and onboard toilets. Whether you fancy a window seat or to sit with friends, our seat reservation service ensures you get the perfect spot.

With your direct airport travel booked with National Express, all that's left to do is kick back, relax, and let us handle the stress of your next holiday.
