If you are
interested in our AIRPORT COACH SERVICE, we need your reservations
using our travel feedback form (DOWNLOAD FORM HERE: MSWord
or PDF) by no later
than Monday, August 23rd. We need to have exact numbers in order
to ensure that the size of the shuttle meets the requirements
of each trip. Therefore, without these details we cannot guarantee
your place. If you have already sent us your form, you do not
need to send it again.
The price
of a one-way ticket will be £15. Tickets can be purchased by one
of our BAM Ambassadors, wearing light blue polo shirts (marked
Open Golf Championship, St. Andrews, 2005 - a job lot to keep
the cost down!) located at the airport on the Domestic Arrivals
side near the exit or COSTA Coffee shop.
