Because groups are collected by hosts from a meeting point in York it is important that the group arrives earlier and leaves later than students using the transfer service below. Students using the Airport Transfer Service are delivered to and collected from their host families.
4. Airport Transfer Service All prices in the section below are subject to alteration due to factors beyond our control.
Students on Junior Courses will automatically be part of the Airport Transfer Service as it is included in their accommodation fees but are limited to a choice of Manchester or Leeds airports. Junior students are always met on arrival and taken to check-in on departure. Junior Course students may travel as unaccompanied minors but this must be stated in advance and all charges must be covered before the student travels.
Students on Gold Courses will automatically be part of the Airport Transfer Service as it is included in their accommodation fees but are limited to a choice of Manchester or Leeds airports. Gold Course students will not automatically be met on arrival but will receive written details of how to locate their transfer.
Students travelling as part of a group may be subject to the same waiting times as outlined below. If the group contains junior students and is travelling without a leader, they will be met at the airport on arrival and helped with check-in on departure.
Adult groups or groups travelling with a leader will receive written details of how to locate their transfer. Groups of 10 or more students may choose any airport listed below except Stansted, Luton Gatwick and Heathrow. Closed groups pay an additional charge for airport transfers.
Taxi Transfers
All prices in the section below are subject to alteration due to factors beyond our control. Students will be charged the full fare for one student unless booked as a pair or group. Should the taxi be shared the student will be refunded the balance by the College.
Parents who want the refund to be paid to them can request this! All taxi services deliver students directly to their accommodation.
Waiting Times
Students may be expected to wait for up to 4 hours at the airport unless they specify, on the application form, that they want an individual transfer. Students requesting an individual transfer will not usually have to wait for more than 45 minutes.
Melton College arranges transfers on the understanding that students should arrive at the airport for check-in 120 minutes before their flight. For departures, waiting times are calculated using these check-in times. On arrival, Melton College assumes that it will take students a minimum of 45 minutes to clear customs (75 minutes at Heathrow and Gatwick). Waiting times on arrival are calculated using published landing time + 45 or + 75 minutes according to airport.
