The journey
Journey time and distance
From central Oxford to Heathrow is approximately 45 to 50 miles, usually via the M40. In typical conditions the drive takes around 60 to 90 minutes, depending on traffic, your pickup location and which terminal you need.
We do not guarantee a journey time. Motorway congestion, roadworks and terminal approach queues can add delay, especially at peak times. When you book, we suggest a pickup time that builds in sensible buffer for your flight.
