The route

From Reading (RG1, RG2, RG30) the natural line out is the M4 J11 and the A33, joining M1 J10, then Airport Way for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 48.0 miles. 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.

Where we meet you at London Luton Airport

Meet and greet in arrivals, or the mid-stay pickup area. Luton's drop-off arrangements change with the terminal works, so the driver confirms the exact point on the day.

Address: London Luton Airport, Bedfordshire, LU2 9LY.

Pickups across Reading

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.

When to leave

For a short-haul departure, allow 2 hours at the airport plus 1h 30m on the road; for long-haul make that 3 hours. We watch your flight, so an early or late landing does not change the price.

Getting back from London Luton Airport

For the return, book the flight number rather than a time - we watch the landing and adjust, and the price stays at £90.
