Use google maps and put the start abd destination in, it will tell you how long the journey takes, then add an ammount of journey time to allow for traffic for the time of day you travel.

Hmmm......be careful about that...

There could be a genuine reason why he wants to meet at the airport.  :-/

You cannot confirm his address...
Even if he produces the V5, doesnt mean to say its his name/address on it....

Just be cautious.....unless you suggested meeting there  :y
