Is my timing for London car service correct?
 
I want to use Just Airports for a car service from London-LHR and they cost 35 pounds.

Our flight leaves at 10am, and I believe we need to be there at least 3 hours ahead, which means we want to be at LHR by 7am.

Just Airports told me that it takes 35-45 minutes to get from Chelsea to LHR - is that a correct estimate?

So, with that in mind, should we ask them to arrive at our apartment between 6:15-6:25am? Or do we need to leave earlier in order not to catch traffic?

At 6 a.m. there is virtually no traffic in London. So you are fine. I'd ask for a 0615 - 0630 pick up time.

Thanks janisj, as always, for your help!

It should be fine. Don't forget you'll be travelling out of London, in the opposite direction to most people.

I have used JustAirports many times and their estimated times are very accurate and based on the day/time/direction you are going.

Note that they have always arrived at least 10 minutes early for us.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 06:35 PM.
