## How to work out any route
Approximate road miles = (town's miles from Gainsborough) + (airport's miles from Gainsborough).
Approximate door-to-terminal minutes = road miles x 1.2, rounded.
These are planning approximations in normal traffic, not guarantees. Every fare is a fixed price
quoted at the time of booking — do not estimate or state a price. Call 01427 802315 for a quote.
