I just used that latest Gatwick code for our trip in May - thanks SO much! I saved $30 on 2 singles =)

I also just used the latest code for the Gatwick Express; with 8 of us going, we're saving a bundle. Now, all I have to do is enter data 8 times, but it is well worth it.

JamilaZ . . . sorry, I don't know the latest code for Heathrow Express.

I accidently purchased 4 tickets going from Gatwick to Victoria. For the last 2, I really need to travel from Victoria to Gatwick. I've sent an inquiry but haven't heard yet. Do any of you wise travelers think reversing the direction of travel will be a problem?

JamilaZ Feb 4th, 2007 03:24 PM

It is probably a nonrefundable purchase.

eaf2007 Feb 5th, 2007 02:35 PM

Jamila, I'm not asking for a refund; I would simply like to reverse the direction of travel.

THANK YOU!!!! I just bought 4 adult tickets Gatwick to Victoria for April using the 1/2 price promotion code. This just saved me almost 30GBP. THANK YOU!!!! (I only needed one way--we're taking the Eurostar to Paris and flying home from there).

Hey, anyone know of a discount on the Eurostar tickets?

JamilaZ Feb 5th, 2007 05:34 PM

eaf2007 - I meant to say they are probalby going to be sticklers. Let us know how it turns out after they get back to you.

Am I doing something wrong? I just tried the Gatwick Express tickets with and without the code and the price was the same. Can someone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

susiela Feb 5th, 2007 08:55 PM

eaf2007 - I saw on the Gatwick Express website under FAQs that the travel can be used in either direction.

pkanderson: I, too, just got the discounted Gatwick tickets using the WP8503 code. Thanks for the tip!

JamilaZ Feb 6th, 2007 04:26 AM

Well it looks like the first code for Heathrow and Gatwick Express have expired. There is a second code for Gatwick. No second code for Heathrow though!

eaf2007 Feb 6th, 2007 06:21 AM

THANK YOU, Susiela!!! :)

We're flying into Gatwick and need to get to Central London. Do we drag our 20 days worth of luggage onto the train and get off at Victoria station and then take a taxi to our hotel?

I've seen transfers for purchase where a guide meets you and takes you to the express and then picks you up at Victoria. Is that necessary?

Can any help me here? Thanks.

Nelly -

Yes.
No. Southern Trains is cheaper (£9).
Getting to the train at Gatwick is a no-brainer. There are signs all over the place directing you to the ticket windows, then the platform.

If you have a lot of luggage, I think the Gatwick Express is better than the Southern train. We have only done the Southern once. Our arrival was 9:00-9:30 am, and the train was crowded. We had to stand up almost all the way into London, and there wasn't a good place to put the luggage. The Express isn't that much more money, has empty seats, and has storage space for luggage both in the cars and at the doorways.

Is a promotion code now working for the Gatwick Express to Victoria? I need Express Class Return for 2. Although I tried some of the codes that had been posted & did 1 ticket at a time, the price appears to be the same (26.80 lbs per person) no matter what. Does it matter when you are using the "return" part of it?

Art_of_Living Feb 16th, 2007 01:17 AM

Please help! My wife and I are travelling tomorrow to London and are planning to take the Gatwick Express to Victoria on Saturday (and Sunday back to Gatwick).
Does someone has an active promotion code? Thank you so much for taking the time to help!

julielovett Feb 16th, 2007 11:24 AM

I just got a new promotional code for Gatwick Express to Victoria and/or Victoria to Gatwick - wp1836
It seems to have worked beautifully! Saved my group about $30 per person

Art_of_Living Feb 16th, 2007 12:49 PM

Julie, you are lovely! It worked.

The biggest gift I can give you:
do the Art of Living basic course,
it's the best thing we;ve ever did!

Thank you so much!

Does anyone have the latest code for the 50% off Gatwick Express tickets? I just tried the latest one listed here and it's not working. I've tried Google searches, but still came up with nothing. How does one get these codes?

Thanks
