Hampton Magna to Glasgow Airport is 326.4 miles and takes between 322 and 335 minutes by road. Timing matters on this one: there is 13 minutes between the quickest and slowest hour. Hampton Travel covers it as pre-booked private hire with a named driver confirmed the night before and a fixed price agreed in writing before you travel.
Measured for each departure time rather than quoted as a single average, because they are not the same journey.

| 19:00 | 323 min | A4177 / M40 J15 |
That 13 minute spread is the difference between comfortable and tight, and on this route it is the 16:00 hour that costs you the extra 13 minutes.
For a 07:00 departure from Glasgow Airport we would collect you from Hampton Magna at about 23:33 for a short-haul flight, or 22:33 for long haul. That allows the measured drive plus the standard advice to arrive two hours before short haul and three before long haul.
| If your flight leaves | Type | At the airport by | We collect you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 07:00 | Short haul | 05:00 | 23:33 |
| 07:00 | Long haul | 04:00 | 22:33 |
| 11:00 | Short haul | 09:00 | 03:33 |
Worked examples for a 07:00 departure. Give us the real flight time and the whole table shifts with it.
At 326.4 miles this is a long drive at the end of a flight, so the landing hour changes the arrival home considerably.
| You land at | Drive back to Hampton Magna | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 322 min | 16:07 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 335 min | 22:20 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 323 min | 01:08 |
Times allow 45 minutes from landing to being in the car. On a run this length an evening arrival means most of the drive is on empty motorway, which is why the late figures are not the worst ones.
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.
We leave Hampton Magna on the A4177 and join at M40 J15. At 326.4 miles it is a long-distance journey. The slowest hour we have measured on it is 16:00 at 335 minutes, against 322 at 07:00. That is the window to plan around.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver the night before.
