How do I get to Weymouth?
Flying to England
The arrival day is Sunday and the return day is Saturday.
If you fly to England, it is best to book a flight to London Heathrow. We have leaders at Heathrow between 09:00 and 17:00 on each arrival day to meet you when you arrive and to take you to one of our transfer coaches.
Our transfer coaches depart at 13.00 and 18.00. Your flight must arrive at least one hour earlier than the transfer departure time. We recommend that you book a flight as close to these times as possible in order to avoid long waiting times at the airport.
One of our leaders will travel with you on the coach to Weymouth.
The journey from London Heathrow to Weymouth takes about 2 hours 45 minutes. We also run transfer coaches to London Heathrow on Saturdays for the return journey at the end of your course. To use these you should book a flight departing after 14.00.
What happens if I book a flight to a different airport?
If you travel to any other airport (London Stansted, London Gatwick or London City, Bournemouth, Bristol, Exeter and Southampton) or if you arrive at Heathrow before or after the times our leaders are at the airport, we can arrange for a private taxi to meet you on arrival and take you straight to your host family (please see the price list for details).
How do I book a place on the transfer coach?
When we send you the confirmation of your booking we will also send you a form to complete asking for details of your flight. If you wish to book a place on one of our transfer coaches, or wish us to book a taxi transfer for you, you will be able to order this on the form we send you. You should complete and return the form as soon as you can in order to guarantee a place.
What happens if my parents want to take me to England?
If your parents wish to bring you to England, they can take you directly to your host family but you must give us an approximate arrival time so that we can make sure the family will be there to welcome you. We will send you your host family's address and contact details when we send you the course papers.
