Wales Travel

Useful For Cardiff, Swansea, Newport And Beyond

Cardiff Airport is useful for many journeys across Wales and the South West.

Private group transport keeps passengers together and helps avoid public transport changes with luggage.

Getting Your Group To And From Cardiff Airport

Cardiff Airport is at Rhoose in the Vale of Glamorgan, west of the city near Barry. It is Wales's main airport, with holiday flights and links to European hubs, and it is smaller and calmer than the big English airports.

The roads to the airport run through the Vale rather than along a motorway, so journey times depend on traffic through Culverhouse Cross and Barry.

Timing A Cardiff Airport Transfer

Wales's default 20mph limit applies on many roads in towns and villages between the airport and the city. On Principality Stadium event days, roads into central Cardiff are closed, so drop-offs are planned around them.

If a flight lands early or late, your pickup moves with it.

Choosing A Vehicle For Cardiff Airport

Rugby supporters arriving for international weekends often travel as a large group, so a coach keeps them together. Golf groups heading to the Celtic Manor or Porthcawl need room for clubs.
