Coach: National Express from East Croydon/Whitgift Centre coach stops to Gatwick & Heathrow (selected services) – Gatwick 35-50; Heathrow 60-90 min, varies by date (book).

How to choose. Public transport wins on price for one traveller with hand luggage at 10am. A taxi usually wins when there are two or more of you (one fare for the car, not per person), when you have hold bags or a pushchair, for flights before the first train arrives or landings after the last one leaves, and when a change of train or a station without lifts would be a problem. Rail fares above are per adult; add £4–£6 per person for the DART/shuttle where shown, and remember engineering work most weekends.
