Bulkington to Edinburgh Airport is 330.9 miles and takes between 331 and 338 minutes by road. Timing matters on this one: there is 7 minutes between the quickest and slowest hour. Hampton Travel covers it as pre-booked private hire with a named driver confirmed the night before and a fixed price agreed in writing before you travel.
Measured for each departure time rather than quoted as a single average, because they are not the same journey.
| Leave Bulkington at | Drive time | Route |
|---|---|---|
| 04:00 | 338 min | Clear roads |
| 07:00 | 332 min | B4029 / M6 J2 |
| 10:00 | 331 min | B4029 / M6 J2 |
| 16:00 | 337 min | B4029 / M6 J2 |
| 19:00 | 333 min | B4029 / M6 J2 |
That 7 minute spread is the difference between comfortable and tight, and on this route it is the 04:00 hour that costs you the extra 7 minutes.
For a 07:00 departure from Edinburgh Airport we would collect you from Bulkington at about 23:24 for a short-haul flight, or 22:24 for long haul. That allows the measured drive plus the standard advice to arrive two hours before short haul and three before long haul.
| If your flight leaves | Type | At the airport by | We collect you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07:00 | Short haul | 05:00 | 23:24 |
| 07:00 | Long haul | 04:00 | 22:24 |
| 11:00 | Short haul | 09:00 | 03:24 |
Worked examples for a 07:00 departure. Give us the real flight time and the whole table shifts with it.
At 330.9 miles this is a long drive at the end of a flight, so the landing hour changes the arrival home considerably.
| You land at | Drive back to Bulkington | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 331 min | 16:16 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 337 min | 22:22 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 333 min | 01:18 |
Times allow 45 minutes from landing to being in the car. On a run this length an evening arrival means most of the drive is on empty motorway, which is why the late figures are not the worst ones.
If the inbound is delayed we track it and send the driver to the actual landing time, not the one you booked. No waiting charge either way.
We leave Bulkington on the B4029 and join at M6 J2. At 330.9 miles it is a long-distance journey. The slowest hour we have measured on it is 04:00 at 338 minutes, against 331 at 10:00. That is the window to plan around.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver the night before.
