Worcester to Gatwick Airport

Worcester to Gatwick Airport is about 152 miles by road, the joint longest run we make, and at that distance the booking is the journey: arranged in advance, worked back from the flight, with the terminal, North or South, settled in the notes before the day. You give us the date, the flight time and the terminal; we set the pick-up from your Worcester address and take responsibility for the margin. The alternative is a long drive, a fortnight of parking charges and the same long drive home on landing day.

Journey facts: about 152 miles by road from Worcester to Gatwick Airport (approximate, measured on the road network). Pre-booked only. Wheelchair-accessible vehicle available on request.

Which way does the Worcester to Gatwick journey go?

South and then east, under London rather than through it. The M5 runs down to the A417 and A419 across to the M4, the M4 and M3 carry the journey towards the capital, and the M25 and the M23 finish it at the airport in Sussex. It is four roads with four tempers, and the pick-up time is set for the worst of them behaving ordinarily, not for all four behaving well.

Gatwick's two terminals are separate buildings, and the drop is at the one your flight uses. The terminal and flight number in your booking notes are small details that decide whether the end of a 152 mile journey is calm or confused, so they are asked for at booking, not at the kerb.

Coming home from Gatwick to Worcester

The return is booked against the landing, terminal in the notes, and for a flight that has crossed time zones the value of a committed car is obvious: a driver expecting you, your phone as the link if the flight moves, and 152 miles of somebody else's concentration between you and your own bed in Worcester.

The wheelchair-accessible vehicle can be booked for this route, and collections run from Worcester addresses and the surrounding villages. Groups travelling together can be picked up from more than one address when the booking says so, and luggage beyond the ordinary belongs in the notes.

The other long London run from the city is the Stansted run from Worcester, the short hop is Worcester's Birmingham Airport run, and the city's airport page is at airport transfers from Worcester. Behind them all is the countywide airport service.
