A Christmas coach deal could save you time and money

Eurolines is gearing up for a rush of travellers making a festive trip to friends and family. This year the international scheduled coach operator is running scores more coaches to its most popular destinations. On Friday 21st December, Eurolines busiest day, it will have twice as many as usual leaving from Victoria Coach Station in London.

Time is really ticking for travellers to guarantee the best deals for Christmas. Managing Director John Gilbert says: “Eurolines fares to many destinations are a snip of a deal compared to airline prices and our coaches are a truly relaxing alternative to the stress-inducing experience of busy airports with their long queues for check-in and security.”

With scheduled coach services to over 500 destinations across Europe and Ireland – Eurolines is a hassle-free alternative, taking passengers from the centre of London to the heart of their destination city. With a generous thirty kilo baggage allowance means passengers will have plenty of room for a Santa sack of presents on both legs of your journey!

There’s also a distinctly positive advantage to coach travel in the ‘season of goodwill to all men’: travelling by coach may not be as green an alternative as a sleigh ride, but your carbon footprint for any journey will be around five or six times lower than flying.

Booking early is advisable with demand traditionally very heavy in the week before Christmas.
