Yes. We operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and Christmas Day is no exception, pre-booked, with a person answering the phone if anything changes. The A1 Flyer bus has not historically run on 25 December, check First Bus's current timetable before relying on it, so a pre-booked taxi is the door-to-door option that doesn't depend on the holiday schedule holding. Whether a holiday rate applies to the fare hasn't been confirmed to us at the time of writing, so ask us to confirm the exact price when you book rather than assuming the standard fare.
Checked September 2026.
What we can confirm
We're open on Christmas Day, we take bookings for it, and a driver will be there at the time you've booked. Flight tracking and 45 minutes of free waiting apply the same as any other day, and there's no card or booking fee. Book with your flight number as early as you can, since Christmas Day travel fills up fast and a firm booking beats hoping something's free on the day.
What we can't confirm yet
Whether a Christmas Day surcharge applies to your fare, and if so how much, isn't something we've had confirmed to publish here. Rather than guess, ask us directly when you book and we'll give you the exact price in writing before you commit, the same way we do for every other fare.
Getting to the airport, or collecting someone
If you're heading out on a Christmas Day flight, book as early as you can and give us the flight number so we're already tracking it. If you're collecting family arriving that day, the same booking process applies, and the driver will be in the short stay car park as usual, or inside arrivals with a name board if you add meet and greet (£15).
The honest version
We don't publish a blanket "no surcharge, ever" promise for a day we haven't finalised pricing for, and we'd rather say that plainly than have you find a different number in the car. Book now, ask for the exact Christmas Day price, and it'll be confirmed to you in writing before you travel.
