Why Take the Bus to Heathrow from Southampton?

We're not saying don't take the train, a taxi, or a car. It's entirely up to you how you travel. But let's take a quick look at why we think the bus is better.

Trains are great, and yes, they're quick. But they're costly too, and if you get your timing wrong and hit the rush hour, there's a good chance you'll be standing all the way to Heathrow, even if you've booked a seat.

COASTAL CITY

Sensational Southampton

One of England's greatest ports, the sound of cruise ships honking their horns echoes across the city, accompanied by the chiming of the city's church bells. The centre is a mix of modern shopping and medieval history, with the ancient Bargate still standing proud.

This university city is a vibrant place with numerous entertainment options available. Its state-of-the-art transport system has recently been upgraded, with direct links all along the south coast and inland towards London, making it easy to get to.

Save Money on Your Journey

The car is fine, but remember that you're heading to one of the busiest airports, not just in the UK but in the world, so parking spaces are scarce, especially during the high season.

How about a taxi? That's great if you don't want to buy anything when you arrive at your destination, because that taxi fare is going to gobble up all your spending cash. The bus offers a trip on a comfy, air-conditioned coach for a fraction of the cost.
