Title: How long
Post by: Bob's Orange on Thursday, December 18, 2008, 10:45:37
Would it take on average to get from Gatwick to Heathrow in a taxi, at around 11am?

All depends. If there's an accident on the M25 then not good. If its on a friday, then even worse. On a good day, I'd say an hour and a half.

EDIT: AA says 56 mins.

The reason I ask is that the penny pinchers at my work are not letting me fly business class with Lufthansa as it costs a fortune.

So they have come up with BA from Lux to Gatwick arriving in London at 10.20 am and then I would have to get a flight from Heathrow at 13.50.

As I am going to India for 4 months I am going to have a massive suitcase so don't really fancy a train between the two and I would hope that the company would get me a taxi/car. From past experience, getting from the Plane to the exit at Gatwick (with just hand luggage) can take between 20-30 minutes in itself.

Basically I am trying to kick up a stink so that I don't have to come to London as if I go Lufthansa it is just change at Frankfurt which is piss easy.
