Cardiff airport is an airport offering domestic and international flights from the United Kingdom and specifically caters its services to the people of Wales due to its location – situated in the Vale of Glamorgan, this airport is the only airport in Wales which offers international flights. Public transportation is easily accessible to and from the airport with bus services being a key provider. It is linked, by a large number of buses, to the important stations and other places of interests in the country.

The Cardiff Airbus X91 is a dedicated bus service offering transportation to and from the airport; it is operated between the city centre of Cardiff and the Cardiff Airport landing field. This is complemented by the 95 bus service. Other than this, there are many more bus services provided like the 345 which is handled by the EST bus company, service X45 which is operated under the Shamrock company (although we’re in Wales, not Ireland!) and lastly the service X5 which is handled by the First Group of Companies. There are also some airport shuttle buses which you can easily get from Cardiff train station or bus station heading for the airport.

You can get the regular bus service to the Cardiff central station from where you can catch the direct buses for the airport. The internet provides you all the information related to the fare and the timetables of the various buses. With the growing vitality of the airport, provisions are being made for the expansion of transportation services. Thus, to get to or from Cardiff airport you can very easily catch a variety of buses and can reach to your destination in an organised and timely manner.

Holiday Inn Express – Cardiff Airport

If you have to stay over somewhere before your flight from Cardiff airport then you are well advised to choose the Holiday Inn Express. It is a standard Holiday Inn express with all the things you expect. It is clean and efficient and the staff are very helpful both during the day and at night. Breakfast is better than you would expect for such a low price; they have even added scrambled eggs and sausage to the standard cold buffet. In the rooms there is fair trade tea, coffee and one dispenser with multi purpose soap which you can use either for your hands or as a substitute for shower gel (if you have forgotten some). Although there are limited hot drinks in the rooms, there are vending machines with sachets that can be purchased that offer a much wider variety.

The only real issue is the parking. It is first come first served – pay at the machine (have a lot of one and two pound coins) or at the desk and they hand write a ticket. People seemed to entirely ignore the blue badge signs so if you need an accessible space perhaps call in advance. Once the car park is full people park in non spaces in the car park and then down the lane next to all the no parking signs. Strictly speaking, this shouldn’t be done as the spaces are needed for deliveries, but there are some people who are always going to take a few risks!
