The drive home from East Midlands Airport

The return from East Midlands Airport to Dunchurch is where the hour you land starts to matter. These are measured, not estimated.

16:00, an afternoon landing53 min17:38
19:00, an evening landing50 min20:35

Times allow 45 minutes from wheels-down to being in the car, which covers immigration, bags and the walk out. A late landing means a quieter road, so the drive itself is often faster than the outbound.

If the inbound is delayed we track it and send the driver to the actual landing time, not the one you booked. No waiting charge either way.
