Farnborough Airport Chauffeur Transfers

Business aviation, not scheduled airlines, is what north-east Hampshire's Farnborough handles, and that alone makes it feel unlike a commercial airport. Executives shuttling around Europe fill much of the passenger list, along with families heading south for the summer and charter groups travelling for sport or for an event. Every other summer the site hosts the international airshow, and for that one week of the year the surrounding roads behave in a completely different fashion.

Simplicity is the whole design here, deliberately so. Your chauffeur is there before the time you gave us, pulls up at the private terminal, and the distance from car door to building runs to a few steps rather than a trek across a concourse. Bags are dealt with for you. We ask your operator for the aircraft time and for the name of your handling agent, and since we make no claim to track your aircraft, a sensible buffer goes into the collection instead.

Coming by road you leave the M3 at junction 4 or 4a onto the A327, and the last stretch runs straight through Farnborough itself. Set off from Mayfair or Knightsbridge and it takes somewhere between an hour and an hour and a half, depending on how the M3 and the M25 are behaving; out of Heathrow, reckon on forty minutes to an hour. Friday afternoons and the summer getaway both add real time to that, so those days we leave earlier.

Onward legs head everywhere: London hotels, the Thames Valley, the Surrey and Hampshire commuter belt, Ascot and Windsor, the Cotswolds, the south coast. Crew generally want their own vehicle out to a local hotel, and we run that alongside the passenger car. Where a family lands with a full hold, a V-Class taking the luggage behind a saloon carrying the people is the arrangement that works. Luxury Chauffeurs is independent, with no affiliation to the airport or to any handling agent.
