About 50 minutes from Terminal 5 to the North Terminal, an hour or more from the Central Bus Station, which the coach calls at first. The South Terminal, where the station is, is ten minutes after the North.

National Express advises being at the airport three hours before a flight, so do not plan a connection tighter than that by coach.

A Standard ticket boards a similar coach up to three hours either side of the one booked; Change & Go, £5 each way, widens that to twelve hours.
