I was going to book the justairports service from Gatwick. We are staying at the Waldorf Hilton in Covent Garden......I don't know what "postcode" to put in and I couldn't find a menu that explains what this is. Can you help me?

In general --a car service doesn't make sense from LGW. The airport is much farther out than LHR and is there isn't a fast road link.

How many of you?

But if you REALLY want to spend the extra time and money -- your hotel's post code (or as much of the post code as they need) is WC2.

Would you take the gatwick express in? I am trying to make this as easy for my mother as possible, but who wants to throw money away....

Depending on how many are in your party, the Gatwick Express and a taxi from the train station is less than Justairports from LGW. It is only less expensive from LHR. If there are 4 or more it might be cheaper, I've only ever checked the price for 2 people.Don't know how old your mother is but I am in my 70's and have no problem with GEX

Is it just the 2 of you? If so, I'd take the Express (simply because of the extra space, ease of boarding) and then a taxi from Victoria to your hotel. This would take about an hour less than a car service and cost a bit less.

taking the tube from Victoria is much cheaper than a cab - but a bit of a hassle w/i having to manage the luggage and walk from Embankment station.

So you can save a little money and a lot of time taking the train/taxi route.

meant add -- even if there are 3 or 4 of you, I'd still take the train/taxi because the drive in from LGW can be a bear. What day of the week. If a weekday AM, the drive would be even worse/longer.

Questions answered! Thank you so much! We will take the Gatwick Express to Victoria and then a cab to the hotel. It is just the two of us (her 70th birthday present) and I was just trying to make it as pleasant as possible.
