Although our plane was late, there was another bus waiting for us to take. Much appreciated. The bus was comfortable, and the temperature was good, and the driver got us there quickly and safely.

It was great. The departing location was supposed to be at T2, but they allowed us to board at T3 which was where our flight arrived. So we didn't have to find our way to T2. Much appreciated!

Enjoyed how quick and easy when getting to the bus stop. Didn’t enjoy how far it was to get to the bus stop. There were no signs and had to ask at least 4 people to make sure I was going the right way.
