punkybett Posted June 18, 2023 #1 Share Posted June 18, 2023 we're staying in Southampton after the cruise and our flight back to Canada leaves at 11 AM. What is the best option to get to Gatwick early enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the best option to get to Gatwick early enough? Southampton to Gatwick is a 2 hour journey by train or car and you’ll presumably want to be at the airport by around 9. The train would be cheapest - direct services leave Southampton Central at 6.08 (arrive 8.12) or 7.12 (arrive 9.09). (This is Mon-Sat. There is no viable train option on a Sunday.) Otherwise it’s a taxi or private car transfer but I would expect that to cost £150-200 and take around the same time - maybe longer if the traffic’s bad, which it often is.

gumshoe958 Posted June 19, 2023 #3 Share Posted June 19, 2023 To add - it might make more sense to stay at Gatwick rather than Southampton the night before your flight. There are plenty of airport hotels, and it would mean a later start without the worry of delays on the roads or trains. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matamanoa Posted June 19, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I would vote for staying at Gatwick overnight in order not to stress out with possibly missing your flight. This is what we do and it takes the worry out of missing the once daily flight to Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkybett Posted June 20, 2023 Author #5 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Thanks for your replies. It would make more sense to stay around the airport the night before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
