Farnborough's terminal. One building, one standard.
Unlike other London airfields, Farnborough has a single terminal run by the airport itself. Every private passenger passes through the same doors, which makes the arrival unusually predictable.

How we work here
Planned with the terminal team
We give the terminal the vehicle and chauffeur details in advance, agree where the car will be, and follow the aircraft by tail number. Because there is one terminal and one team, arrangements at Farnborough are consistent from visit to visit, which suits clients who use it regularly.
For departures we time the drive so you arrive a comfortable few minutes before you are due to board, and we watch the M3, which is the one variable that matters. Remember the opening hours when planning late returns: an aircraft that misses them must use another airfield, and we will move the car accordingly.
