Airport transfers from Canterbury

Canterbury draws visitors year round and sits on the A2 between Dover and London, with all the London airports reachable on motorway. Every distance below is measured driving mileage from Canterbury with an off-peak drive time, and the fare is fixed before you travel.

London City Airport — 58 miles, about 1 hour 15 minutes

London City suits business travel to European capitals, and a car door to door beats dragging a case across London.

Gatwick Airport — 67 miles, about 1 hour 20 minutes

Gatwick is the usual choice for European leisure routes and long-haul charter, with two terminals and a broad carrier mix.

Stansted Airport — 84 miles, about 1 hour 50 minutes

Stansted is the furthest of the London airports for most of our customers, which is exactly where a fixed fare earns its keep.

Heathrow Airport — 91 miles, about 1 hour 45 minutes

Heathrow is the UK hub for long-haul, with the widest choice of destinations and the most frequent departures.

Luton Airport — 98 miles, about 2 hours

Luton serves a wide low-cost network, and going by road avoids the awkward rail journey with a change in London.

Southampton Airport — 135 miles, about 2 hours 30 minutes

One of the easiest airports in the country to use, with a short walk from drop-off to check-in and quick security.

Bournemouth Airport — 160 miles, about 3 hours

A small single-terminal airport where you clear security in minutes, which often makes it quicker end to end than a bigger hub.

Bristol Airport — 189 miles, about 3 hours 45 minutes

Bristol covers a broad low-cost and holiday network and is the natural departure point for the West Country.
