Fastest Way From Gatwick to Heathrow Airport
Question:
My brother and his friends are traveling from Detroit to Dublin, with a layover in London. They were supposed to have the layover at the same airport, but at the last minute, his flight was changed. Now they have to fly into Gatwick, but out of Heathrow. They will have very little time. What is the quickest way to get from Gatwick to Heathrow – a taxi or express train? Where do they go in the airport to get transportation? Approximately how long will it take to travel from Gatwick to Heathrow? Thank you very much for your help!

It would help to know the airline, since there are two terminals at Gatwick, and four at Heathrow. Normally, people ride a bus between the two airports. There are dedicated buses that run about every 15 minutes throughout the day. It takes something like 90 minutes, depending on the time of day. The fare is about 18 pounds. http://www.nationalexpress.com/ A taxi would be the fastest. The fare is about 60 pounds for a prearranged ride. There is no convenient train service between the two airports. If you took the train, you typically have to go into Central London, transfer to another station, then take another train out to Heathrow.
