What you still need to check
- Whether the trial run will continue, the exact location of the airport stop, timetable, dispatch interval, and fare must be re-confirmed on the date of use. The tourism office's list of older, multi-company routes was not merged at the same time as this new route.
- Separate confirmation is required from the official operator before posting and actual use.
Confirm the operating airline, travel date, current terminal and live service with the linked operators. This page can't decide entry rules, baggage handling, accessibility or a minimum connection time.
