Distance and journey time are typical driving figures for planning. Your fixed fare is confirmed when you book and includes the airport charge, luggage and waiting time.
Northampton to Luton Airport is a straight 40-mile run down the M1, usually taking 50 to 60 minutes. It is a simple motorway journey with few complications, which makes it reliable to plan around even for early departures.
Luton is the most practical airport for Northampton travellers — the alternatives at Birmingham and Heathrow are both substantially further. We collect from across the town and the surrounding villages, including Wootton, Duston, Kingsthorpe, Brackmills and Towcester.
Return journeys follow the same M1 route, and we track your flight so the driver is waiting when you land rather than the other way round. Northampton is far enough from the airport that a missed pickup is a genuine problem, which is why we confirm the driver and vehicle by email the day before you travel.

- Do you cover the villages around Northampton?
