Gatwick to Heathrow

wrote: Next month, we return home form Europe, changing planes in London. But we arrive at Gatwick and then depart from Heathrow. What's the best way to get from Gatwick to Heathrow? The BA representative suggested taking the Speed Link bus? Is that best? He said it takes an hour and a quarter. Is it usually on time or is he being optimistic? They leave frequently, so it's not a matter of being ontime. The time on-route is probably about 1.25 hours, but the bus does get on a motorway and it is possible for it to be blocked up in a traffic jam, I suppose. It can take quite a bit of time just getting through Gatwick to the shuttle stop and likewise at Heathrow getting to your gate. I'd allow more like three hours from landing to departure. And remember you have to get your luggage at Gatwick and re-check it at Heathrow even for the same airline. How often does it run? How much does it cost? Can we pay on the bus, or do we need to buy tickets first? Can we pay by credit card? If not, what currencies do they accept, besides pounds? Dollars? Euros? http://www.speedlink.co.uk/speedlink_page.html Or if you recommend a different mode of transport, please answer all the same questions about it. Thanks for whatever help you can provide. ************* DAVE HATUNEN ) ************* * Tucson Arizona, out where the cacti grow * * My typos & mispellings are intentional copyright traps * |
