Title: Gatwick Airport to Southampton Port - Need Help Post by: Laxie on February 17, 2009, 07:27:20 PM My step-mom and I are going on a cruise in August departing from Southampton port. She's arriving in Gatwick airport and wants me to meet her there so she's not on her own trying to find the cruise port. How far apart are the two and what's the best way to get from A to B?

She's arriving in Gatwick airport and wants me to meet her there so she's not on her own trying to find the cruise port. How far apart are the two and what's the best way to get from A to B? About an hour and a bit by car. Get a cab, but dont tip the driver, just give him ear plugs when you get in ... he will thank you by the time you get to southampton. :) Title: Re: Gatwick Airport to Southampton Port - Need Help Post by: barhell on February 17, 2009, 07:38:24 PM My step-mom and I are going on a cruise in August departing from Southampton port.

Title: Re: Gatwick Airport to Southampton Port - Need Help Post by: Laxie on February 17, 2009, 11:06:19 PM At a guess...what would the return trip be via taxi? We dock at 5:30am and she needs to check in no later than 7:30 for her 9am flight back to America.

Sounds like you're cutting that fine - is 5.30am docking time or 'you can get off the boat now' time?

Sounds like you're cutting that fine - is 5.30am docking time or 'you can get off the boat now' time? Ger The Duke just phoned me to explain exactly how close she was cutting it. Will ring her tomorrow to see if she can get a later departure time to America. As for me? Nothing booked yet, so if it comes to it, clear a sofa or two as back up. rotflmfao Title: Re: Gatwick Airport to Southampton Port - Need Help Post by: Dewi_cool on February 18, 2009, 12:28:21 AM At a guess...what would the return trip be via taxi?

What you could look at is a cheapy flight from Soton to London and you may be cheaper and quicker. |
