From Gatwick to Heathrow

It's not my choice, but I must get from Gatwick in London to Heathrow for the second leg of flight to Los Angeles. Anyone have a suggestion regarding best route and mode? Thanx for the help.

Please do a search. This topic has been discussed about 50 times, and that's only in the last 6 months. The choices have not changed.

Have a great trip!

National Express bus has a route between the airports, search for National Express. I don't think that BA has the route anymore.

True - this is asked about every 3 or 4 days. But unfortunately th esearch function isn'r the best.

There really isn't a "best route and mode" - there is really only one practical way to to it. Take the airporter coach that connects the two airports. Aby other option will either take a lot longer, is more complicated, or costs a LOT more.

You need to allow a minimum of 3.5 hours if you don't check luggage and about 4.5 hours if you do. This includes time for immigration at the LGW end and security/check-in at the LHR end.
