    In recent years, Cardiff has greatly expanded its air facilities, and flights now wing in from across Europe. Airlines that service Cardiff International Airport (tel. 01446/711111) include British Airways (tel. 0845/773-3377), which offers flights to Brussels, Paris, Belfast and points throughout southern Ireland, and Scotland; KLM (tel. 0870/575-0900), which offers transfers, through Amsterdam, to points around the world. Ryan Air (tel. 0871/246-0000) flies to Dublin and points throughout Britain that include Newcastle, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen. Surprisingly, there is no direct air service between Cardiff and London, but airport officials think that during the lifetime of this edition, service will be offered several times a week between Cardiff and London's Stanstead Airport by a relatively new airline, Air Wales (tel. 0870/777-3131).

    The Cardiff Bus Service operates bus no. X91, which travels between the airport and the railway station at hourly intervals daily from 9am to 10pm. Cost of a one-way trip is £3 ($4.80).

    Trains arrive in Cardiff at the Central Station on Wood Street, in back of the bus station. Trains from London pull in at the rate of one every hour during the day; the trip takes 2 hours. Trains also arrive every hour from Glasgow and Edinburgh going via Crewe; trip time is 7 hours. For rail information and schedules, call tel. 0845/748-4950.
