What you still need to check
- Individual bus bay number and first and last train unconfirmed. In the past, X1 to X4 were not mixed with the current Airport Direct.
- The operating timetable, temporary boarding area, terminal for each flight, baggage, and security conditions for the day of travel must be confirmed separately.
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.
