This is how you can get free travel to see your family this Christmas.

National Express is hoping to reunite some long-distance families.

Travel can easily be one of the most expensive parts about Christmas. Whether it's petrol costs to drive to the other end of the country and back or pricey train tickets for the whole family, getting to see family can sometimes seem just too costly.

Hoping to relieve some of the festive costs and reunite families, National Express has opened up an online competition, hoping to find one family to offer free travel to.

Families who fit the criteria can enter the competition on the National Express website, with details of the last time you were all together as a family, and what you did.
