FROM THE AIRPORT TO YOUR ACCOMMODATION

We can organise a car with driver to come to the airport and give you a lift to your accommodation. The driver will meet you at Arrivals and the service is paid for when we invoice for the price of the course.

Taxis

There are separate taxi ranks for private airport taxis and for city “black cabs” outside the east (UK Arrivals) end of the terminal building.

A third rank is available for advance-booked taxis on the ground floor of the multi-storey car park, directly opposite the terminal.

A journey to the city centre typically takes about 20 minutes. Many taxis are wheelchair accessible.
