The airline - fare changes from 1st January 2023
1 year ago
From 1st January 2023, there will be a number of changes to fares and ticketing on the airline coach service.
As the airline service has evolved and reacted to changing travel patterns, especially in the years since the initial COVID-19 restrictions, we’ve added tickets to our product range to try and better suit the needs of our customers. This range has only increased in size, and so to help customers better understand our ticket options, the Day/Next Day Returns and Period Returns (valid for 1 month) will be withdrawn.
We will continue to offer Single and Flexible Return (valid for 12 months) tickets on all sales channels (on coach, in our Travel Shops and online), and Fixed Date Returns online only, although there will be some changes to the prices of these. The price of Group Flexible Return tickets are unchanged. Our range of Airline Flyer tickets will be adjusted to reflect the above changes in product availability and price, but will continue to offer free travel on local bus services to connect to/from the airline.
We’ll also be making some changes to period passes and multi-trip tickets. The 12-trip tickets (between Oxford and both airports) will no longer be available to purchase on the coach. You can find a full list of the new airline fares below:
