Reading is around 27 miles from Heathrow, a straightforward run via the M4 that usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. It's one of the busier business routes we run — Reading's Thames Valley business parks host a dense cluster of technology and finance firms, making this a common transfer for corporate travellers connecting from a Heathrow flight straight to a meeting.
We also see a spike around Reading Festival at the end of August, and regular bookings to and from the University of Reading. Whatever the reason for the trip, the fare's fixed before you travel and your flight's tracked the same way as any other booking.
