Advance fares are available from GBP5.20 one way.   Helen Smyth, Commercial Director - Airports at National Express, said:  "As the nation's number one scheduled coach operator, we have the flexibility to add extra capacity on our busiest intercity and airport routes to meet demand.

We're making it even easier for savvy holidaymakers to enjoy the best of summer, whether they're exploring the UK's top destinations or jetting off abroad - with our brilliant coach drivers taking them right to the terminal door.
