Can I take my board on an airport transfer bus?

By Alastair Irvine

Transfer buses allow you to travel with bulky equipment including windsurf boardsIn addition to the normal suitcase or backpack containing clothing and other personal items, people can now take more unusual items on trips abroad.

On arrival at one of our airport car parks, you can pull your car into an unloading bay and offload your luggage and surfboard close to the setting off point for the airport transfer bus. Assistance with your luggage may then available from the bus driver, leaving you free to concentrate on getting yourself a seat on the bus.

All buses have spacious luggage compartments, so after handing over all your luggage it will be safely loaded on board the bus by the bus driver to accompany you to the appropriate terminal. Transfers from the car parks are frequent, operating 24 hours a day, and take only a matter of minutes to the airport terminal.

Don't forget to pack all your essential windsurfing equipment

Transfer buses drop passengers close to the departure check-in desks and the bus driver will again be happy to help offload your luggage from the bus for you. You can then grab a nearby luggage trolley and make your way to the check-in gate in plenty of time for your flight.
