The route
From Eastbourne (BN20, BN21, BN22, BN23) the natural line out is the A22 and the A27, joining A27 Falmer interchange, then Village Way for the last part of the journey. The whole thing runs to about 19 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 45 min off-peak becomes 55 min when the network is busy, which is why we build the timing around your arrival rather than the clock.
Where we meet you at American Express Stadium
Village Way North, on the university side away from the station ramp. The A27 at Falmer is single-carriageway either side of the ground and backs up badly, so an early set-down beats sitting in it.
Address: Village Way, Falmer, Brighton, BN1 9BL.

Any address in Eastbourne works, along with the wider BN20, BN21, BN22, BN23 area of East Sussex. House, hotel lobby or office reception, whichever suits you on the day.
From Eastbourne the A22, A27 route does most of the work, so the timing holds up even when the local roads are busy.
When to leave

Eastbourne to Brighton CentreEastbourne to GoodwoodEES and your airport transfer
How early should I get to a European airport for my flight home?
ABTA advises arriving at least two hours before departure, because the EES exit check can add time at busy airports.
My flight home might land late because of EES queues. What happens to my transfer?
Give your flight number when you book, so the driver can follow the actual landing time rather than the scheduled one.
How does EES affect the 90/180-day rule?
EES records every entry and exit digitally instead of relying on passport stamps, so days spent in the Schengen area are counted automatically and overstays are flagged.
Do I need ETIAS as well?
Not yet. ETIAS, the EU's separate online travel authorisation, has not launched, so there is nothing to apply for. The EU will announce a start date months in advance; until then, avoid websites that charge for it.
EES is the EU's digital border check for non-EU travellers, fully in use since April 2026. It is not a visa. Checked September 2026; rules can change, so see the EU Travel to Europe site before you travel.
