Very convenient bus service from the airport to Oxford. Super easy pick up from London Heathrow at number 10 outside. Bus comes regularly but does not seem to follow the schedule exactly. Very pleasant interior as you can see from the picture. Comfortable and clean. Not a lot of attention to the bathroom area but free Wi-Fi and lots of seating available. The driver was totally pleasant, announced the stops, and handled baggage very efficiently. Overall, I would recommend this mode of transportation from the airports. Very reliable. read more

The Airline Bus - Airport Shuttles Near Me - Oxford, OXF

When visiting my sister-in-law who lives in Oxford, she recommended the airline. It was a great and easy way to get between Heathrow and Oxford. We purchased our return tickets in advance on line for £29 each, and used a print out of the confirmation email as our ticket. There's no discount for buying the ticket in advance, but it was nice to have it all worked out. For the bus from Heathrow, you can get any one within 24 hours of your reservation. For the bus from Oxford, you have to be within 2 hours, and my SIL says they can be pretty strict about it. It was a little difficult to find the proper bus bay at Heathrow (#10 at Terminal 5), since that information wasn't included in the email, but that also could have been the jet lag. (Also, we're Americans, not used to needing so much information about public transit...) We arrived in the middle of the day on a Wednesday, and the bus was slightly late and completely full for the ride back to Oxford. For the return at 5am on a Saturday, the bus wasn't too full when it left from Gloucester Green, but it did end about 1/3 full by the time we'd left all the Oxford stops. There is free wifi onboard, and the connection is strong and consistent. There are also plugs at every seat. Both our coach drivers were quite friendly. read more

Not a huge amount to say, it's a bus that takes you to the airport. It's very comfy and has wifi and half decent legroom and you can charge your phone and use free wifi for the whole of your journey and it drops you at north and south terminal. They get 4 stars because the loo was bogging!! It wasn't checked/cleaned between the journeys (looked like it was quite a few journeys since it had been cleaned) read more

Rubbish service. Inconsistent drivers: a few are helpful, but many are rude. The latest one forbade me from bringing a sandwich on board, even when I offered to keep it in my bag and not eat it. You are better off taking the train to Heathrow, it is more reliable, easier, and cheaper. Beyond that, the app (Oxford Bus) is weak, and the search on it never works. read more

Good service from Heathrow/Gatwick to Oxford, but it is ridiculously overpriced. It's ~£30 for a return trip. I imagine they can charge this much because there is no other line that services this route. It's a real shame as I bet a competitor could undercut The Airline and still turn a healthy profit. They also have some really weird policies. For example, your ticket must be printed out. In this day and age, this is simply archaic. I suspect this policy is to catch foreign travelers, who had not printed out the ticket ahead of time and get them to buy a second ticket with cash on the bus. If you are coming from abroad, and you don't have pounds sterling to buy a new ticket on board, The Airline will let you use Euros or USD. However, the price is inflated for those with foreign currency. For example, the price of a ticket in USD is twice that in GBP, even though the exchange rate hasn't been 2:1 for over 5 years. After much hassle emailing with the Airline, it is possible to get a refund for the unused ticket. You just have to be very persistent. read more

EXTORTIONATE PRICING RIPOFF! No way to purchase a ticket online (one link does not work, the other tells you min 36 hrs in advance). Continental contactless cards not accepted (unlike most shops in the UK). But the worst is that the cash Euro price for a 23 pound ticket, which is pretty stiff for a 70 minute bus ride is bumped up to 40 Euro, where the exchange rate would be closer to 26 Euro. With a flight waiting, there are few options. But apparently the ride is OK and the Thornhill P&R is convenient. read more

The Airline bus service is a godsend if you need to get to Heathrow or Gatwiick in a hurry. I have used it dozens of times and it has never been late. You do pay a premium though, with a single ticket costing close to twenty pounds but if you need to get to the airports it beats going via London. If, however, you are travelling as a group (4-5 people), it may work out cheaper or the same to book a taxi, so make sure you check this alternative first. Last time I went it cost £90 for 5 of us. read more

Best way to get from Oxford to Heathrow! They have buses leaving every half an hour and they stop at all the terminals at Healthrow but terminal 4. I believe you take a bus from the other terminals to get to 4. The bus is very convenient and stop in several places in the city center and the last stop is glauster green. They offer free wifi for the journey which is kinda neat! read more

Oxford Bus Company should really look at the information they give with regards departures. Website says one time , bus stop says another, oxontime says another and the bus arrives at a different time. I appreciate that timing are never perfect because of traffic but over the time i have use it its never at the time it says and you end up waiting around. As other travellers have pointed out the toilets are always blocked so make sure you are not desperate before you board. allow plenty of time for flights as it can be held up in traffic. Both coaches i was in this week had no wifi or power sockets working. Overall OBS could do better considering what they charge. So come on folks pay attention to detail and customers read more

bus drivers in general are rude. I used the service three times in the last 3 months and I just use the service because is the only bus that does Oxford Gatwick, otherwise I would change for sure. read more
