Travel tips for Portsmouth to City Airport taxi

Book pickups from Portsmouth Harbour area 15 minutes earlier due to restricted loading zones near the train station. The Gunwharf Quays shopping area has better parking for pickups if you're staying nearby.
Morning traffic builds up around the M25 junction with A3, so allow extra time for flights before 10am from City Airport. Your driver will monitor flight times, but the 109-mile distance means weather can affect journey times significantly.
Portsmouth's one-way system around the city centre can add 10 minutes to pickup times. Specify whether you're near Portsmouth & Southsea train station or Portsmouth Harbour when booking. The Historic Dockyard entrance provides a clear landmark for hotel pickups in Old Portsmouth.
