How the day runs
Most travellers take a luxury people-carrier for the extra space. You are collected from the town itself, not a station or a car park. The booking works back from your departure, the 58.5 miles and the check-in window. Neighbouring Wantage is 78 minutes from Farnborough, and Didcot 71 minutes. For arrivals, the chauffeur waits at the business-aviation terminal with the flight's real-time position. Oxford, where Ravensley starts each job, is 15 minutes from Abingdon.
