Ways To Get To Lands End Airport

Since the helicopter flights from Penzance to The Scilly Isles  has closed down, more people than ever are travelling to Lands End Airport.

The usual way that passengers get to Lands End Airport is to drive. Follow the instructions to Lands End until you reach Crows An Wra close to Sennen. Then go right and follow the road to St Just until you see the airport. There is an unmanned car park that is charged at £7.00 per day unless you book it in advance and £6.00 per day if you do. There are no reductions for longer stays. Because of the expensive rates, there are a few people willing to rent their driveways around the area to park a car. A quick internet search will reduce this cost.

Another option to park is to use the 100% free car park in St Just. A taxi journey from St Just to Lands End Airport is roughly fifteen pound so for longer stays on the Isles Of Scilly this may be best. BREAK
Buses run a service from the bus station in Penzance to Lands End Airport. The airport is in a predominantly rural part of Cornwall so the buses run a rural service but a few go past Lands End Airport and stop there. Western Greyhound run a service from Penzance, Sennen Cove and St Ives but are dramatically decreased in the winter. It is advised to enquire before travelling and leave plenty of time in case of postponements or cancellations.

The questionable “shuttle bus” runs from Penzance taxi rank a few days per week and is substituted by private hire cars and taxis when it isn’t running. There is no specific schedule or information at Penzance taxi rank displaying delays with the service so passengers have been known to wait an hour for it. The advise is to contact Lands End Airport and save the number in your cell phone for when you arrive and call them to get updates.

The best way is to use a Lands End Airport taxi service.  A internet search brings up a few companies that run to and from there. If you need a taxi for picking you up at Lands End Airport then enquire about it when you book the first ride. There is no website or app for taxi drivers at Lands End Airport to keep them updated with the arrival times and any delays, which often means some waiting. For this reason it is a lot harder to get a taxi from Lands End Airport than it is to get a taxi to Land's End Airport, so always ask about your return trip as you arrange the taxi to Lands End Airport. Also tell the company the time you have to be there and not the time you want picking up.
