Advice on airport transfer
I don't really want to swap airports between Gatwick / Heathrow but the prices are coming up so much less if I do .
Could anyone advise how much time I should allow both in and out of rush-hour so I can plan?

OK... I'm pretty sure I didn't post this in "Car hire and transportation"...
Either it's been moved by a mod or I've lost the plot! I'll say a prayer to the mod gods and hope it moves to a more appropriate section.

I was the same, we have a 4hr window to get to Heathrow from Gatwick, we land just before 10 am so I'm happy with that amount of time I wouldn't want to risk anything under 3 hrs, you just cant predict those southern roads

Can you not do the different leg on a different day? We looked at the Jersey boomerang which involved the same swap, we could get into Gatwick 16:30 ish. Pick up car drive to Heathrow check into Premier inn then do the Heathrow to Miami leg @ 09:30 next day.
It may be possible to spread your trip the same way? |

On a bad day the trip from LHR to LGW on the road from hell can be anything up to 3/4 hours. If there is an accident, bring your bed.

I'm looking at just over 4 hours between flights with the journey between airports starting between 7.00am and 8.00am on a Friday morning so sounds like I might be cutting it fine .
I didn't really want to stay overnight as it is an added expense and I was trying to keep costs down - I certainly wouldn't want to stay overnight on the way home. I suppose the train is out as well .

Gatwick is only 30 mins from Victoria on the Gatwick Express, and it's 30 mins Victoria to Paddington, 15 mins Paddington to Heathrow T1,2 & 3.
Allowing 30 mins for walking between platforms, that is still under two hours. And no M25. |

Make sure its not an ASLEF strike or overtime ban day.
They seem to be a normal part of life on the Southern network nowadays. Disney332
