or you could take the Gatwick Express for little more money but a LOT QUICKER!!!

If you insist on the airbus, it's fine, but their schedule shows 1 and 3/4 hours travel time during the day. The Gatwick Express takes 30 minutes.

I concur with AAFrequentFlyer on this. It would be difficult to think of a good reason to choose a bus over the Gatwick Express.

Also, please know that there is a special rate on the train for a party of 4 or more that is much less than 4 individual tickets. Ask at the ticket booth.
The train is wonderful, so easy and so comfortable.

I've looked at that bus schedule in the past and I think it would be good if you wanted to go to Brighton. Otherwise, like the others said, take Gatwick Express.

For info about discount tickets, check

There's no need to buy tickets ahead of time, despite the option. You can buy them on the train or before you board.

I know there are also South Central or Connex trains that are a few pounds cheaper and take a little longer. I have never bothered with those because the GE is so easy.
