Kenilworth to Leeds Bradford Airport is 132.5 miles and takes between 149 and 168 minutes by road. Timing matters on this one: there is 19 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.
| Leave Kenilworth at | Drive time | Route |
|---|---|---|
| 04:00 | 153 min | Clear roads |
| 07:00 | 161 min | A46 / M40 J15 |
| 10:00 | 157 min | A46 / M40 J15 |
| 16:00 | 168 min | A46 / M40 J15 |
| 19:00 | 149 min | A46 / M40 J15 |
That 19 minute spread is the difference between comfortable and tight, and on this route it is the 16:00 hour that costs you the extra 19 minutes.
For a 07:00 departure from Leeds Bradford Airport we would collect you from Kenilworth at about 02:26 for a short-haul flight, or 01:26 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 | 02:26 |
| 07:00 | Long haul | 04:00 | 01:26 |
| 11:00 | Short haul | 09:00 | 06:26 |
Worked examples for a 07:00 departure. Give us the real flight time and the whole table shifts with it.
At 132.5 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 Kenilworth | Home by roughly |
|---|---|---|
| 10:00, a morning landing | 157 min | 13:22 |
| 16:00, an afternoon landing | 168 min | 19:33 |
| 19:00, an evening landing | 149 min | 22:14 |
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 Kenilworth on the A46 and join at M40 J15. At 132.5 miles it is a long-distance journey. The slowest hour we have measured on it is 16:00 at 168 minutes, against 149 at 19:00. That is the window to plan around.
We work the pickup time back from it and confirm your driver the night before.
