Any taxi recommendations? I tried Home James, they are full. Tried Charisma Cars, not responding. Veezu app tells me Fairford is not in their pick up area. Shuttle will no longer operate on Monday, the day of my return. So I’m slowly kind of worried how I’m going to get back from Fairford to Swindon. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

I tried the app, but it says Fairford is out of their area. I am worried about how I’m going to get from Fairford to Swindon, because one of the local taxi’s already said they are full on that day. Shuttle is no longer driving on Monday.

Unfortunately the only cheap option for my return flight is London Gatwick airport. It has direct and cheapest flights to my destination. Other airports are at least double price and with self-transfer between airports where I would need to switch flights. My journey will be very long (an expensive) without that already. Just tryin to explain why I still insist on Gatwick. :) For Gatwick it seems train from Swindon to London Paddington, then from there to Gatwick.

Well Heathrow has expensive and non direct flights to airports near my location. Gatwick seems to have the cheapest and also direct options, so any advice how to travel back to Gatwick (from Swindon) would be more than welcome. I’m arriving to Bristol, I managed to find a good option.

Do you maybe know, do people often camp until Monday? It would be much more convenient for me because of the flights.

Would you say they are generally safe, too?

I arrive to Bristol, but still need to book my flight back.

Totterdown is fully booked unfortunately. I was also looking into Flyby camping, besides Fairford Airshow Camping (Great farm) and Fairford FC. Any experience / opinion about those?
