Travel to and from Reach Cambridge

Students should arrive in Cambridge for their chosen program on the start date listed on the website, and depart campus by 9.30am on the end date listed on the website. You do not need to arrive the day before or depart the day after the program dates. For example, if your program dates are 2nd – 15th, then you should arrive on the 2nd and depart on the 15th (not the 1st and the 16th). Flights Because Reach Cambridge students come from all over the world to form an international cohort, we’re unable to organise a formal ‘group fare’ from each hub. Instead, students should book their own flights (and let us know their flight details on the online form in their online account).  Your arrival options are: 1) Reach Cambridge Airport Transfer – this is for students flying in on their arrival day. A member of our team will meet you at arrivals and accompany you on our airport transfer to Cambridge. This service is available for flights landing at London Heathrow Airport. More information can be found below. 2) Self Travel – Arrive independently at Cambridge between 12pm – 3pm unless specified otherwise; details on specific arrival times/location will be emailed to you just before the start of your Program. Your departure options are: 1) Reach Cambridge Airport Transfer – for those who choose to take advantage of our airport transfer service to London Heathrow airport. More information can be found below. 2) Self Departure – Depart independently from Cambridge. You must leave campus by 9.30am. If you choose to make your own way from Heathrow, or are arriving from another airport, you will need to arrange your own transfers (we recommend booking a taxi transfer at www.airportlynx.co.uk).
