What if my flight is delayed?
We understand that flights can be delayed and we try to be as flexible as we can be with this. Our bus will wait for you if it can. However, we do have other customers who might have already been waiting a while so we have to consider them as well. We also need to adhere to EU regulations concerning driver hours, so our bus may have to depart on time.
If you do miss your transfer, we will always try our hardest to get you on the next bus at no extra cost. We leave more and more empty seats on our services as the day goes on for exactly this reason. Our staff will always go the extra mile for our customers and it is extremely rare that things go wrong.
