To identify our staff, your son/daughter should look for the Anglo-Continental sign.

Delayed arrival – car transfers
Your son/daughter is allowed two hours’ waiting time from the advised arrival time, free of charge. If this time is exceeded, a further two hours waiting time will be charged in accordance with the published tariff.
Possible waiting times for coach transfers
It is our aim to transfer your son/daughter to Bournemouth as soon as possible. Students can expect to depart from the airport within one hour of meeting our representative. However, please take into account the following: flights may be delayed, late release of luggage, UK Border Control, Customs Control and heavy road traffic. There may therefore be a wait of more than one hour for the next coach departure during which time they will be fully supervised.

Anglo-Continental Transfer Conditions
Luggage allowance – airlines
Please note that airlines apply different luggage restrictions (i.e. size, weight, contents and number of items). We advise you to check with the airline before your son/ daughter travels.
Luggage allowance – car and coach transfers
Your son/daughter’s free allowance is one piece of luggage of a standard size and shape weighing not more than 23kg, plus one item of hand luggage of not more than 10kg.
If your son/daughter’s luggage does not conform with the above, an additional charge may have to be made. It is important that you advise us in advance if there is excess baggage so we can make appropriate arrangements, otherwise you may find that the excess luggage cannot travel with your son/daughter and there may be additional charges.

Cancellation
Notice of cancellation or change of a transfer must be received by the school before 12.00 hours (British Time) on the Wednesday prior to the scheduled day of arrival or departure.
