For a 07:00 departure from East Midlands Airport we would collect you from Dunchurch at about 04:05 for a short-haul flight, or 03:05 for long haul. That allows the measured drive plus the standard advice to arrive two hours before short haul and three before long haul.

The return from East Midlands Airport to Dunchurch is where the hour you land starts to matter. These are measured, not estimated.
| You land at | Drive back to Dunchurch | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 51 min | 11:36 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 53 min | 17:38 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 50 min | 20:35 |
Times allow 45 minutes from wheels-down to being in the car, which covers immigration, bags and the walk out. A late landing means a quieter road, so the drive itself is often faster than the outbound.
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 Dunchurch on the A45 and join at M45. At 42.6 miles it is a longer run. It holds within 3 minutes whatever hour we measure it, so there is no bad time to travel this one.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver on payment.
