Flatspin, so you would really prefer doing Mayfair to Oxford rather than Mayfair to Farnborough?
Mayfair to Oxford: 58 miles, 1 hour 13 minutes.
Mayfair to Farnborough: 37 miles, 47 minutes. (both courtesy of Multimap)
OK, so only based operators have access at weekends, fair point.
Pets? No problems with them at FAB that I'm aware of..... certainly have carried pets in and out of there before.
Attitude from the groundstaff? Very surprised to hear that, TAG handling are usually very good, certainly less attitude than you'll find at most european destinations!!! (AND, you won't risk getting your car clamped at Farnborough
)
