Transportation between Gatwick and Heathrow
I'm traveling to italy and found a great flight. only problem is, the return trip has an airport change, from gatwick to heathrow. it's a 4 hour layover, so i think i should be fine, but how hard is it to get from one airport to the other, and how expensive? i also have to find out if my luggage will transfer automatically or if i need to pick it up, cart it, and recheck it.

yes, you need to pick up, take with you and re-check your luggage.
4 hours is enough under normal circumstances.
have a great trip!

4 hours might sound like a lot of time, but it's just enough. It is quite doable, but you will not have a huge amount of time to spare. Your luggage will not be transferred, so you will have to pick it up, go through customs, and re-check it at the other airport. You can take the National Express coach between airports for 18GBP. If you have more than a couple of people in your party, you might want to look at a car service such as Just Airports.
On a personal note, unless this is a really big savings, I would choose a flight that doesn't involve an airport change.

i just used just airports last week and the driver was waiting for us at heathrow (they check ont he flights to see if they're early or delayed etc) good value at about 38pounds for a trip into E1 with three people in a large car on a sunday (would never have got there with tube closures and such on a sunday), and the return trip to the airport was even cheaper and just as fast and reliable. I'll use them again and again for anymore than one person traveling.
