    General

    We operate our flagship service between Leicester, Fosse Park & Birmingham Airport.

    Please remember to leave sufficient time between your coach arrival at the Airport and your flight check-in time. We would recommend at least 1 hour prior to the opening of your flight check-in. Check with your airline regarding check in and boarding times.

    At the driver's discretion, Aircoach UK will aim to accommodate your booking if you are running late through no fault of your own. However, customers with bookings for a specific departure would be given priority, and you may have to wait for a later service.

    It’s great to know you’d like to praise a member of our team – you can let us know on this form.

    No, points are only earned when you book on the website?

    You receive 1 point for every £1, so in the above example, you will receive 12 points

    When you make a booking on the website and reach the payments page you can use your Advantage points to pay for your ticket as long as you have enough points in your account. For every £1 spend you will need 10 points so a ticket which costs £7 will need 70 points.

    Advantage points can be redeemed once you have enough points to pay for the cheapest ticket in your booking – e.g., if you have enough points for one ticket, but you are purchasing two tickets, points can be redeemed against one of the tickets.
