Convenience

If you are arriving into Terminal 4, taking the train may be a good, budget option for you. However, if you are arriving into any of the other terminals, you will have an extra wait for the internal shuttle bus to add to your journey. You will also need to make a transfer in the city centre which is time consuming and far from ideal.

Editor’s Note
