Commercial terminal vs private channel
Heathrow T2–T5, Gatwick North/South, Stansted, and Luton public terminals each have different pickup choreography. Luton and Heathrow also serve VIP and FBO flows — your booking must name which door, not only the airport code.
Private clients should never discover at baggage that the car is waiting at the wrong campus or cannot access the VIP forecourt.
Heathrow and Gatwick for UHNW arrivals
Heathrow remains the default for long-haul; Gatwick splits North/South and suits many premium leisure routes. Both demand flight-number tracking and meet & greet when you want zero phone calls in arrivals.
Fixed fare should include reasonable traffic contingency to west London, Mayfair, and Surrey — the postcodes your household actually uses.
Stansted, Luton, and London City
Stansted and Luton mean longer motorway legs — meter creep hurts here most. City suits Square Mile turns with tight schedules; chauffeurs must watch actual landing, not schedule alone.
Luton VIP passengers should confirm handler and terminal with ops the day before — public and private flows are not interchangeable.
Operational standards to insist on
Licensed PHV, confirmed vehicle class, 60-minute courtesy from landing for international flights, and a named driver mobile before wheels down.
For corporate and family office books, one monthly statement beats a folder of receipts — especially when a single trip chains airport → home → dinner.
