Advantages: Cheaper than parking or taxi

Disadvantages: Longer journey time

I have used the Gatwick Flyer 6 times over the past 2 years and have always found their service to be friendly, efficient and great value for money. Fortunately, due to my locale I am picked up and dropped off door-to-door, but given the fact that a taxi would cost £65 each way it is my only financially viable option.
It may take longer than in a cab but the coaches are comfortable and clean and although there is a stop off at the services area near Lakeside to swap over of Gatwick & Stansted passengers this only takes around 10 mins.

I would however advise people to be sensible when they book.
I tend to book the earlier timed flyer than I need. Although I sit in the airport longer it is a lot less stressfull than sitting on the coach in traffic thinking am I going to make my flight in time!?

Finally, to the man who reviewed this service in 2003 and claimed it ruined his honeymoon (& it seems that there are a lot of people who take creedance in what he noted 5 years ago) YOU CHEAPSKATE!!! Making your new wife stand at a bus stop at that sort of time in the morning in the cold - you should be ashamed of yourself!!!

Summary: Great value for money!
