Arriving in the UK by air

When you apply, you can arrange a taxi transfer from either Cardiff (CWL) or Bristol (BRS) airports. See the price of airport transfers on the fees page.

Cardiff and Bristol airports are both less than one hour drive from Newport. If you are flying in to London Heathrow airport, the journey to Newport is about two hours by train, or there is a direct coach service. You may find it easier to book a connecting flight to Bristol or Cardiff.
