Passengers have shared positive experiences, highlighting the comfort and cleanliness of the buses as well as professional and friendly staff. Many appreciated punctuality and smooth rides, with some noting helpful drivers who ensured a pleasant journey. However, there were occasional mentions of delays in departure times that did not significantly impact overall satisfaction.

The Airline Oxford Heathrow recent customer reviews

Advice is to arrive at least 15 minutes before departure time. Unsure of time delays, I was there 30 minutes beforehand. Passengers were left standing in the cold morning air until 5 minutes before the departure time. Then the driver appeared and was loaded. We actually left five minutes late. The driver was brusque and a little belligerent. An essential service which many passengers are encountering for the first time. They may have English as a second language. The driving was fine, but the attitude towards the people it serves needs improving.

The driver was helpful and courteous and the bus was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately we were about 20 minutes late in leaving and then ran into horrendous traffic caused by an accident on the M40. Nothing to do with the driver, of course, who sought out alternative routes on smaller roads, and kept us informed of the ever-increasing delay.
