University Term-Time Airport Transfers
Student travel follows a predictable rhythm — the start and end of term, Christmas, Easter, and the long summer break — and Onward Travel Solutions builds around that calendar with fixed-price airport transfers timed to when students actually need to travel.
Why Term Dates Matter for Booking
The weekends immediately before and after term starts and ends see the highest demand for airport transfers of the academic year, particularly for international students flying home or arriving from overseas. Booking ahead of these dates secures your preferred pickup time before availability tightens.
Moving-In Weekend
Arriving for the start of term usually means more luggage than a typical trip — bedding, boxes and extra bags alongside standard cases. Our estate cars and minibuses are sized for exactly this kind of journey, at a fixed price agreed before you travel.
End-of-Term and Holiday Travel
Christmas, Easter and end-of-year moves often mean flying home with even more than you arrived with. We track your flight and adjust your pickup time automatically if it’s delayed, so a busy holiday travel period doesn’t add stress to getting home.
Group Bookings for Flatmates
Students travelling to the same city or catching flights around the same time can book a shared minibus or MPV, which is usually more cost-effective than several individual taxis and means everyone travels together.
International Students and Long-Haul Flights
For students flying long-haul at the start or end of term, a delayed or early landing is common, and our flight tracking accounts for that automatically rather than leaving you to manage the change yourself after a long journey.
Booking Around the Academic Calendar
We recommend booking as soon as your term dates are confirmed, particularly for moving-in weekends and the days immediately after term ends, when demand for airport transfers across London is at its highest.
Fixed Pricing Regardless of Demand
Unlike ride-hailing apps that raise prices during high-demand periods, our fares stay fixed once agreed, so booking during a busy term-time weekend doesn’t cost more than booking on a quiet day.

Parents and Family Visits
Term-time also brings family visits and open days, and the same fixed-price approach applies whether it’s a student travelling alone or parents coming to visit or help with a move.
Payment and Confirmation
You can pay online at the time of booking, and every journey is confirmed by email with your fare, pickup time and driver details — useful to have on record during a busy moving period.
