Coach (chartered)

If you are meeting a chartered coach, you will probably be met by a representative from the coach in Arrivals. If there is no one there to meet your flight, head to the short stay coach park on Bute Road adjacent to International Arrivals. This is where all charter coaches pick up and drop off passengers.
