Private Transfer Or Public Transport?
There are public transport options between Heathrow and Gatwick, including direct coaches. Heathrow states that direct coach services can take around 70 minutes, while rail travel requires a change in central London because there is no direct train between the two airports.
A private transfer may be more convenient for passengers who prefer a direct vehicle, have several pieces of luggage, are travelling as a family or want to avoid changing services.
The best option depends on your budget, luggage, connection time and personal preference.
