5 tips for a smooth airport transfer
Whether you're catching an early morning flight or arriving back after a long-haul journey, a little planning goes a long way. Here are our top tips from years of running airport transfers across Reading and Berkshire.
1. Book at least 24 hours in advance
Don't leave your airport transfer to chance. Booking the night before (or earlier) gives you peace of mind and guarantees your driver is confirmed.
2. Always provide your flight number
Your flight number allows us to track your arrival in real time. If your flight is delayed, we'll know — and your driver will adjust accordingly. No extra charge for flight delays.
3. Allow extra time for check-in
We always recommend adding 30 minutes to the minimum suggested travel time. Traffic can be unpredictable, especially on the M4 and M25 during peak hours.
4. Confirm your pickup point clearly
When booking, give us your exact pickup address including postcode. If you're at a hotel, include the hotel name and the entrance you'll be waiting at.
5. Keep your phone on
Your driver will call approximately 30 minutes before arrival. Make sure the number you provided when booking is switched on and reachable.
