Flight
Give the arrival flight number and check it against your booking.
Start with the address your host has supplied
Whether your Oxford stay is for study, a meeting or a visit, begin with the address where you have been asked to arrive. Your college, host or accommodation can provide the full details. Send those instructions with your flight information so the team can plan the transfer to the place you actually need.
Include the building name, street and postcode, with any named reception or entrance. Tell us who is travelling and how many bags are coming. If you need to check in at accommodation before going elsewhere, make that first destination clear rather than giving only the institution or department name.


The name of an Oxford institution describes the purpose of a visit, but it may not identify your arrival address. Accommodation, a department and the place where you should report can be different. Check the instructions you have received and use the address for the first stop you need.
Pass on any lodge, reception or entrance information supplied by your host. Discuss the final handover with the team rather than assuming that every entrance allows the same access. If the instructions change, share the update with both the person arranging the booking and the travelling passenger.
Use the building, street and postcode for the actual arrival point.
Share the reception or entrance details supplied by your host.
Give us the details for this particular journey
Give the arrival flight number and check it against your booking.
Select the correct airport and terminal from your flight details.
Use the date you land in the UK, especially after an overnight flight.
Include the full address and the first place you need to report to.
Count everyone travelling together and identify the lead passenger.
List cabin bags, suitcases and any bulky belongings for the whole party.
Plan from your selected airport to your address
The journey to Oxford depends on your arrival airport, terminal and final address. Share those details together with the flight information. Allow for the time spent leaving the airport and collecting luggage before the road transfer begins, and discuss any time you need to report to your host.
Keep the host’s arrival instructions with your transfer details and provide a passenger contact number that works in the UK. If someone else is arranging the journey, make sure the traveller receives the confirmed plan. Include return requirements separately, with the departure flight and collection address.
