Gatwick (LGW) → Southampton · Fly-Cruise
Flight tracked from departure, met in arrivals with a name board, and driven direct to Ocean, City, Mayflower, Horizon and QEII. One fixed fare agreed before you fly — tolls, parking and 60 minutes' waiting included.
The route
Gatwick to Southampton is a favourite for passengers flying in from Europe and short-haul the night before a sailing. We meet the flight, and if you are overnighting near the port first we will run you to the hotel and back to the terminal on the day.
We plan the pickup backwards from your ship's check-in window, not the printed sailing time — boarding usually closes earlier than people expect. Give us the flight number and the sailing, and the arithmetic is ours.
Sized to match cruise luggage, not airline carry-on. When in doubt, size up — an MPV with spare room costs far less than a second car. Full detail in the luggage & vehicle guide.
At the major terminals, porters collect large cases at drop-off and your luggage next appears at your cabin — you only handle it door to kerb. Our driver drops you at the correct terminal for your ship at Southampton, so the cases travel the shortest possible distance in your hands.
Straight answers
A saloon is a fixed £183 for 1–2 passengers with 2 large cases. An MPV is £224, an 8-seater £280, and an executive car £215. The fare shown at booking is the exact total — no surge, no meter, tolls and parking included.
We track your inbound flight from departure. If it lands late your driver adjusts automatically, with 60 minutes of free waiting from your actual arrival time. The fixed fare doesn't change.
Around 80 minutes covering roughly 64 miles, traffic depending. We time the pickup backwards from your ship's check-in so you arrive with buffer to spare.
Yes — book both legs together. We ship-track your return so a late dock or slow disembarkation moves the pickup, never the fare, then drive you straight back to the airport or home.
