Planning a Heathrow to Gatwick connection
If your two flights are on separate tickets, the airlines are not responsible for the connection — if you miss the second flight, you may have to buy a new ticket. Leave a generous gap between landing at Heathrow and your Gatwick check-in deadline, allowing time for passport control, baggage reclaim and the road journey.
The usual route is the M25 and the M23. The M25 between the two airports is one of the busiest stretches of motorway in the country, and incidents can cause delays at any time of day. We will discuss realistic timings with you when you book.
North Terminal or South Terminal?
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, linked by a free inter-terminal shuttle. Check which one your airline uses — it is shown on your booking — and we will drop you directly outside. Gatwick, like Heathrow, applies a charge to vehicles using its drop-off areas; your quote explains how this is handled.
Luggage between airports
Passengers connecting between airports usually have their full luggage allowance with them. Choose an estate or MPV if you have more than two large cases, and a people carrier for families or groups.
Your Heathrow pickup
We collect from all four passenger terminals. Add your flight number and terminal to the booking and we will track your arrival. Your pickup includes a free waiting period after landing, confirmed in your quote, and with meet and greet your driver waits in the arrivals hall with a name board.
Travelling the other way? We also run Gatwick to Heathrow transfers — just choose “To Heathrow (departure)” in the quote form and we will time your collection around your check-in.
