01 — The terminal handover
Where the chauffeur meets you at Farnborough FBO
At Farnborough FBO, agree the landside meeting point and flight operator or handling contact before dispatch. This private-aviation airfield is not a scheduled-flight terminal, so the airport name alone does not identify the passenger door. The chauffeur uses the reception named in the booking, holds a name board at the agreed landside point and keeps the passenger contact available. No airside vehicle access is assumed.
For a departure, the car approaches via the entrance and landside route stated in the current airport or handling instruction; the airport lists GU14 0LJ for satnav. The operator's current instruction identifies the permitted landside set-down or parking-side point for that flight. The chauffeur assists with the booked luggage and hands the passenger over at the confirmed reception, while airfield staff control access beyond it. Historic airfield views are not a guide to the current passenger entrance.

04 — The return collection
Landing time starts the arrivals plan
A private or general aviation arrival does not follow a scheduled terminal's public arrivals-hall process. FCET uses the flight information supplied for the booking, while the passenger or handling contact confirms when the party is ready at the agreed landside reception. Landing time alone does not identify the release time or authorise access beyond the airfield boundary.
The booking includes 15 minutes of complimentary airport waiting. If the party needs longer, the passenger or authorised contact updates the office and chauffeur. The vehicle uses the official designated car park confirmed for the pre-booked private-hire collection, subject to the current operator's instruction. The chauffeur helps with declared luggage at the accessible landside point before confirming the onward address.

07 — From Berkshire and London
Planning the road journey to Farnborough FBO
The planning guide from Reading is 19.3 miles and 40 minutes; from Wokingham it is 12.8 miles and 28 minutes. From central London, allow around 39.8 miles and 70 minutes as a broad route guide. The precise collection address, traffic and airfield reception approach can change the time required, so the booked pickup is set against the requested reception arrival.
Give us the flight, facility, pickup address, passenger mobile and substantial luggage. The journey cost is confirmed at booking for that itinerary. FCET is available 24/7, uses DBS-checked chauffeurs and has provided chauffeur-driven travel since 2004. A return sector carries its own flight and meeting instruction, so the outward set-down note is not used as the arrivals collection plan.
