| 07:00 | 266 min | A429 / M40 J15 |
| 10:00 | 263 min | A429 / M40 J15 |

| 19:00 | 260 min | A429 / M40 J15 |
That 9 minute spread is the difference between comfortable and tight, and on this route it is the 16:00 hour that costs you the extra 9 minutes.
For a 07:00 departure from Newcastle International we would collect you from Wellesbourne at about 00:35 for a short-haul flight, or 23:35 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 | 00:35 |
| 07:00 | Long haul | 04:00 | 23:35 |
| 11:00 | Short haul | 09:00 | 04:35 |
Worked examples for a 07:00 departure. Give us the real flight time and the whole table shifts with it.
At 238.7 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 Wellesbourne | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 263 min | 15:08 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 269 min | 21:14 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 260 min | 00:05 |
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 Wellesbourne on the A429 and join at M40 J15. At 238.7 miles it is a long-distance journey. The slowest hour we have measured on it is 16:00 at 269 minutes, against 260 at 04:00. That is the window to plan around.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver the night before.
