Local knowledge

Tips for the Gatwick Airport to Brighton run

  • Book with your flight number, not just the scheduled arrival time. We track the flight, so an early or late landing moves your pick-up automatically.
  • The 60 minutes of free waiting starts when the aircraft lands. If you expect a long queue at passport control or are waiting for hold luggage, ask for extra free waiting time when you book.
  • North and South Terminal arrivals are a shuttle ride apart, so check which terminal your flight uses before you travel and tell us if it changes.
  • We run 24 hours a day, so a late-night or early-morning landing is no problem.
