Lerwick to Sumburgh Airport Transfer: Hotel Pickup

The driver collects you from your hotel, not the other way around.

A departure transfer from Lerwick to Sumburgh Airport with hotel pickup included. Your driver arrives at your accommodation and drives you to the airport in time for your flight, with enough buffer for check-in. The service runs on your schedule, and the fleet ranges from vehicles for couples to coaches for groups.

The experience

Your driver picks you up from your hotel or accommodation in Lerwick or Scalloway and drives you to Sumburgh Airport, a journey of around 30 minutes to an hour depending on traffic and your exact starting point. Loganair recommends arriving an hour before domestic flights and 90 minutes before international ones, so book your transfer at least two hours before your flight departure to give yourself a comfortable margin. The vehicle is air-conditioned, and the driver handles the route while you settle in.

The fleet varies by group size: couples and families travel in smaller vehicles, while larger parties (school groups, business teams, sports groups) can be accommodated in bigger coaches. This means you're not paying for empty seats if you're traveling alone or as a pair, and larger groups don't get split across multiple bookings. The service is available at times that suit you, so if your flight is early or late, the transfer adjusts to match.

Top questions

How early do I need to book my transfer before my flight?

Book at least two hours before your flight departure if you're being picked up in Lerwick or Scalloway. This gives you time to be collected and reach Sumburgh Airport with the buffer Loganair requires: one hour for domestic flights, 90 minutes for international ones. Contact the operator for pickup points outside these areas.

What size vehicle will I be in?

The fleet ranges from 7-seat vehicles for small groups and families to 57-seat coaches for larger parties. Your vehicle is assigned based on your group size, so you're matched to appropriate transport rather than a one-size option.

Is the vehicle air-conditioned?

Yes, all vehicles in the fleet are air-conditioned.

Can I book a transfer at a time that suits my flight?

The service is available at times to suit you, so you can arrange pickup around your specific flight departure time rather than fixed scheduled slots.
