Hello Rose1999,
You are correct regarding Saga’s door to door travel service. They were the company that I was alluding to in my earlier post on this subject. Unlike TS’s ill-thought through scheme, Saga do not place any mileage restriction on their service. They will take you to your main departure airport or to your local airport for an included domestic flight to your main departure airport.
Saga’s service is available to anyone in mainland England, Scotland (PLEASE NOTE jintzky), Northern Ireland, the Isle of Wight and the Channel Islands.
Please JY, if you’re going to introduce this scheme (which I believe would be a very popular move), take a tip from Saga as to how this should be run. The TS ‘service’ is a prime example of how NOT to operate it.

Hello Mike
Yes, and Titan do, too (they are part of the same group of companies, so probably use the same fleet of minibuses).
I haven't used Saga, but I have used Titan quite a few times, and their service is very good - and it extends through South Wales. They have minibuses and drivers stationed at various places round the country (at least four in Cardiff, I think), so transport is always available.
And, yes, they will take you to LHR the day before an early flight (and arrange hotel accommodation) if required.
The real advantage of the door-to-door service for me is the return journey: after a tiring 10-12 hour long-haul flight, arriving back at a comparatively cold and often wet LHR, it's so nice just to be ushered straight to a minibus and then being able to instantly relax . . .
