How should you allow for traffic and arrival time?

Bus service starts at 08:00, with the last bus departing the airport at 21:30. Individual routes also have operating times, and those details may change. Before choosing a bus, check the official site before you go for current airport bus information.
What should you confirm before leaving the airport?

Confirm the destination, pickup point and any fare directly with the transfer provider. For a bus, check its destination and current departure information, then plan the onward connection from the stop.
