Jayandar Posted July 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted July 27, 2023 What would be the safest earliest flight to book from Gatwick on a Saturday ship debarkation day? Ship arrives at 6am. Never been to Gatwick, only Heathrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach1213 Posted July 27, 2023 #2 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Well, it depends how you want to get there, and where you're going to. For example, hiring a car service will be shorter than a train or bus, and flying within the UK or to the EU will require less advanced arrival than a flight to, say, US or Canada.

As a total aside, I can't imagine the UK allows this as a connection, right? Kind of like how, for example, United can't sell you a ticket from Vancouver to Toronto via O'Hare.

Not SOU-SZG-LGW, specifically, but it's not hard to find SOU-DUB-LGW or SOU-GLA-LGW. Or LHR-CDG-EDI. As for YVR-ORD-YYZ: If there's a problem, I would expect that to be cabotage. But even so, I could readily find prices for it on AA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Bob Posted August 3, 2023 #7 Share Posted August 3, 2023 (edited) There was a discussion on this topic a number of years ago on the Ports of Call-British Isles board. I recall that it wasn't convenient for a same-day flight. There may have been changes so it would be worthwhile resurrecting that thread.

It would be very simple to arrive at Southampton in the morning and get a flight out of Gatwick on the same day. It's like a 90-minute drive.
