mredmred Posted March 27, 2018 #1 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I've a cruise booked for the end June. I'm off to the fjords on Azura. I have flights booked to Heathrow but what is the best way to get to Southampton. I'm flying the day before so I have plenty of time. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I_r_a Posted March 27, 2018 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Hi MR, I was recently informed about this service. http://www.smithsairportcars.co.uk/ I haven't used them yet, so cannot vouch for them. There is also bus service: https://www.londontoolkit.com/travel/southampton_national_express.htm Enjoy your visit. Ira Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jh1809 Posted March 28, 2018 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2018 On possibility (which might not be practical if you have a lot of luggage) would be the rail-air coach link from Heathrow to Woking station, from where you can get a fast train to Southampton, and then a taxi to the cruise terminal. https://www.nationalexpress.com/en/airports/heathrow/woking-to-heathrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoe sproodle Posted March 28, 2018 #6 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Further to the earlier post I have used Smiths many times and have always found them to be very reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fue-fue Posted March 29, 2018 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2018 We've done it once, flew out of Heathrow & left the car there. Sailed back to Southampton & got Smiths for airports to take us back to Heathrow. Great service, would definitely use them again & recommend them:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeanlyon Posted March 29, 2018 #8 Share Posted March 29, 2018 National Express - very reliable and easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdo Posted March 29, 2018 #9 Share Posted March 29, 2018 We've used National Express as well found them very good. Have booked two return journeys from Heathrow leaving in April for £57 return. Your luggage is put in the hold so you 're not watching it all the time as you would have to on the train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisefan2012 Posted March 29, 2018 #10 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Couldnt you have booked Flybe from Scotland direct into Southampton?... I`ve done that before and I`ve never had a problem with Flybe - I`ve only missed one flight with them but that was my fault... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Birdseye Posted March 30, 2018 #11 Share Posted March 30, 2018 If you are flying BA into Terminal 5 then National Express pick up at Terminal 5 direct to Southampton coach station where you'll get a taxi. Thats what I am doing in 3 weeks time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mredmred Posted March 30, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted March 30, 2018 I've had a look and I think the national express will be the option I will go for. Thanks for all the replies. Sent from my HUAWEI CAN-L01 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdo Posted April 1, 2018 #13 Share Posted April 1, 2018 We're flying BA Belfast to Heathrow T5 as Flybe Belfast to Southampton was double the price with 20kg. BA is 23kg and more flights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisefan2012 Posted April 1, 2018 #14 Share Posted April 1, 2018 To me flying into Heathrow when you want to be in Southampton seems like a round about way of getting there but whatever works for you More importantly - happy cruising !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdo Posted April 1, 2018 #15 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I know what you're saying but didn't want to pay £400+ for Flybe with 20kg allowance , when we booked BA for £224 with 23kg, us women like the extra kgs. Will enjoy, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog18 Posted April 1, 2018 #16 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Another option is to use a Southampton taxi which will be a lot cheaper than the airport taxi price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
