Southampton to Gatwick: The Route

Southampton to Gatwick Airport is approximately 65 miles, typically routed via the M27 and A3 through Guildford, or alternatively via the M3 and M25. Journey time is around 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 35 minutes in normal conditions. We monitor live traffic to choose the fastest route on your departure day.

North Terminal vs South Terminal

Gatwick has two terminals. It matters which one you go to — they're not interchangeable on foot. We confirm your terminal at booking.

• North Terminal: easyJet, British Airways (selected routes), TUI, Wizz Air, Norwegian, Aurigny
• South Terminal: Ryanair, Jet2, Emirates, Virgin Atlantic, Vueling, most charter airlines

Terminal assignments change — always confirm with your airline. We'll double-check for you at booking.

Why Take a Taxi to Gatwick?

The rail journey from Southampton to Gatwick requires at least one change and takes approximately 2 hours minimum. With luggage, this is significantly less convenient than a door-to-terminal taxi service.

For 2 or more passengers, the cost per person is very competitive with rail tickets — especially when booked last-minute. And there's no comparison in terms of convenience.

Post-Cruise Gatwick Transfers

We also specialise in post-cruise transfers from Southampton Port to Gatwick. After your cruise ends, the last thing you want is a complicated train journey. We pick you up from your terminal (Mayflower, Ocean, City, or Horizon) and take you straight to Gatwick.
