From Reading (RG1, RG2, RG30) the natural line out is the M4 J11 and the A33, joining M23 J9a, then the terminal approach for the last part of the journey. That is about 48.0 miles door to door. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 1h 15m off-peak becomes 1h 30m when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Meet and greet in the North or South Terminal arrivals hall. North and South terminals are a shuttle apart, so we confirm which one you land at before the day.
Address: Gatwick Airport, Crawley, RH6 0NP.
We pick up anywhere in Reading and the surrounding Berkshire postcodes - RG1, RG2, RG30. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.
Reading sits on the M4 J11, A33 corridor, which is what makes this journey predictable rather than a gamble on the day.
