How to get from Heathrow to Gatwick
It is very often the case where passengers may need to catchconnecting flights between Heathrowairport and Gatwick airport, which makes the transfer between the twoairports very important.
There are 3 ways in which link between the two airports areprovided; below you will find more information on each and every one of themwith their advantages and disadvantages.
Train
This is one of the options however it is not veryrecommended as there is no direct line between the two airports and it involveschanging trains at different stations, barring in mind that the trains arealways very pack and the fact that you will have your luggage with you makesits very hard and inconvenient, especially if you will be travelling with youngones. As part of the maintenance work undertaken on the main lines trains manystations are likely to be closed causing more congestion and waiting times. Onaverage the transfer time between the two airports is 2 hours and at the costof £24 per person, does not make this method of transport very favourable, asan average size family of 5 will have to fork out £120 on their tickets and gothrough allot of hassle when they can just book an MPV vehicle with us at thecost of only £70.
Coach
The best of the worst is the national express coaches, themain disadvantage of this method is that although faster than the train optionit is also a very slow way of transferring from one airport to another, as thecoaches have to stop at every individual terminal to pick up passengers,bearing in mind the cost of £15 per person and the limitations on the number ofluggage you are allowed to take with you then this also becomes a nonfavourable method of transport. The long queues at peak time outside the ticketsoffice is also a big influence on this factor.
Private Hire CarServices
This is the best and the most trusted method of transportbetween the Heathrow and Gatwick Airport, especially if you are travelling withfamily. There are numerous advantages over the other two methods. Firstly allof the passengers are greeted at the arrivals gate with a name boards, andassisted to the cars with their luggage’s, this is very convenient for peoplewho have travelled into the country for the first time as often peoplecomplaint about not being able to find their own way around the coach and busstations very easily. Once the passenger books a vehicle then they can justseat and relax as everything from this point onwards is dealt by the transfercompany, the flights are constantly monitored and there are no extra charges offlight delays.
Travelling with little ones can often be a great problemespecially if it is only one adult and couple of individuals; it becomes a verypainful procedure if the adult has to get onto a coach or a train with thechildren and the luggage’s. This as you can imagine can be very difficult butwith a private hire the children are assisted by the driver and their parentswhilst the driver assists the passengers with their luggage and once in the carthey are provided with child/ booster seats which are essential for the safetyof the little ones at no extra cost.
Unlike the other methods the transfer time between the twoairports in a private hire car is only around 40 minutes, and baring in mindthat a family of free can get this transfer for a cost of £55 which makes it£18 per individual it makes this method more cost efficient than the other twomethod of transport already. The larger the group or family size the less itscost per person for the transfer, a family of 5 can have this transfer for thecost of £70 and a family of 8 can have it for £90 making it around £11.25 perperson which makes it nearly half price compared to the train already, eventhis method on its own can be seen as a real decision maker.
Overall a transfer in a private hire car is by far the bestmethod of transfer between the two airports, it is both very cost efficient andcomfortable.
