azgrandmax3 Posted July 12, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 12, 2022 We (four adults & luggage), will arrive at Heathow headed to Southampton hotel. Please advise us which shuttle service worked well for you? Will it matter which terminal we arrive at? Thank you, Azgrandmax3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Bull Posted July 12, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Two main options .................... https://www.nationalexpress.com/en National Express offers a direct bus service from LHR to Southampton coach station. At about £18 pp this is your cheapest option by some margin. You will need to know your LHR terminal - it should be noted in your flight booking, this website may not be up-to-date https://www.heathrow.com/at-the-airport/terminal-guides/which-terminal If you fly in to T2 or T3, you book from Heathrow "central bus station" - it's a well-signed covered 10-minute walk from T2 or T3 If you fly in to T5, you book from "terminal 5" and there's a National Express bus stop on the concourse outside the terminal (but I forget whether it's ground floor or upper floor). Because T4 is currently under-utilised as airlines get back on their feet, Nat Express currently don't call at T4 but that will change in due course. In the meantime T4 arrivals have to take the free inter-terminal transport. Best to allow 2 hours from your scheduled landing time for airport formalities - that might be over-kill but better than missing a bus. If you've booked a city centre hotel it might be walkable or a max £10 taxi ride. The other main option is a private transfer service. Tony has mentioned https://www.blackberrycars.com/ Also get quotes from https://westquaycars.com/ and https://aquacars.co.uk/ I'm out of touch with prices since pre-Covid, it used to cost about £85, now expect more like £130+ Quote your scheduled landing time, they'll know of any flight delay & have a better idea than you of when you'll arrive in the Arrivals Hall. By RailAir bus then train is useful as a Plan B if your Plan A goes belly-up, but slow, a little complicated (there's no sensible rail connection between LHR and Southampton)., and expensive.
