Flying Scot

Transfer going to airport on 18/4/18 was fine. However coming back from airport to pick up car was not good. After informing Flying Scot for pickup we where told to go to stance No7 which we did. After waiting at least 15 min no sign of bus. Phoned Flying Scot again and was told bus would be coming from other car park.After another 10min waiting in cold bus arrived not very good. Would book again but expect to be picked up in 10min.

No problems arriving all good on return we waited 20 mins for our car even though we phoned them once we picked our luggage up. We had a baby with us and standing around in the cold was no fun they said they only had 2 drivers but feel that is an excuse not sure if we will use them again
