The whole thing runs to about 17.2 miles. Traffic is the variable, not the distance: 35 min off-peak becomes 40 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 Reading Festival Caversham Road or the Richfield Avenue rendezvous point set for the weekend.

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](https://travel-europe.europa.eu/ees) before you travel.
