Straight answers
How long does the flight to Host links (rotates) take?
About 20 minutes airborne from Nearest metro (TBC) to the approved landing point for Host links (rotates). That is a planning figure, not a schedule: the routing, the slot you are given during an event window, the landing point the authorities approve and the weather on the day all move it, and the performing operator confirms the real number.
When is a helicopter actually worth it here?
During The Open Championship the case is access, not distance. Single-road approaches, event traffic management and parking restrictions turn a short drive into hours, and the helicopter buys back the part of the day you cannot reschedule — arriving for a session, a lunch or a departure slot that will not wait.
It is usually not worth it if your timings are flexible, you are travelling outside the peak arrival and departure windows, or you are one or two people who can share a road transfer — the aircraft is chartered whole, so a small party pays for all of it.

How event weeks work
The closest airport (often TBC) handles principals and guests by private jet; a licensed operator flies any final helicopter segment into the event window. Requested slots, ground handling and onward venue transfers are checked with the selected operator and relevant event authorities before confirmation.
Airports & jet gateways
Principals and guests typically arrive by private jet into Nearest metro (TBC) or the nearest business-aviation FBO.
