Travel arrangements

Travelling to the regions

Whatever your preferred method of travel, for the convenience of all, we have common collection points which are at the destination airports.

We appreciate the convenience of flying from your local airport and therefore our staff will meet you from your chosen flight. Please read carefully the exact arrangements for your destination on this page.

Please follow our travel arrangements as we are unable to keep the groups waiting for individuals. Therefore, if you arrive after the specified time you will need to make your own way to your destination hotel at your own expense.We have chosen these times to give you as much choice of local flights as possible and to ensure arrival at your hotel in plenty of time for dinner.

We are here to help you find the best flights for your holiday. We offer a personalised booking service and your flight will be fully protected by our ATOL licence. We charge a small booking fee of £20 per person and will ensure you get the best possible times and value.

Once you arrive at the destination airport we will take your luggage, leaving you free to relax before your coach departs. Please note that lunch is not provided by us on the arrival day, however there are restaurants or cafés in each airport.

If you prefer to travel by train, then the rail stations are usually well-linked to the airports – the meeting point for all modes of transport.
