Winter Flight Delays - How Your Taxi Should Handle Them
Fog at Gatwick, snow on the M3, a diverted arrival landing at Southampton instead of Bournemouth - winter is when airport transfers get tested. Here is how a properly run taxi service handles the season, and what you should expect from yours.
Flight Tracking Matters Most in Winter
In summer a delayed flight is an inconvenience; in winter it is the norm. We track every arrival we serve in real time, so when your 18:40 lands at 21:15 your driver is there at 21:15 - not waiting since 18:40 and charging you for it, and not gone home.
No Waiting Charges for Delays
Because we track your flight, delay time is not your problem. Your fixed fare stays fixed whether you land on schedule or three hours late. Ask any taxi firm this question before you book a winter transfer: "What happens to the price if my flight is delayed?"
A winter airport transfer is a promise kept at 1am in the rain. That is when you find out which firm you booked.Smooth Cabs, Bournemouth
Diverted Flights
If your Bournemouth arrival gets diverted to Southampton or Bristol, call us as soon as you land. We re-route your driver or dispatch another car to the right airport - it happens every winter and we plan for it.
Allow Extra Time for Departures
Icy mornings slow everyone down. In December and January we recommend adding 20-30 minutes to your usual pick-up time for early departures. Book with 01202 707070 and we will advise the right time for your flight.
