Airport guide

Your Gatwick transfer from Cardiff: what to know

Gatwick is about 175 miles from Cardiff, around 3 hours via the M4 and M25. From Bristol it is about 150 miles. Because the route uses the busiest part of the M25, we plan departure times carefully and allow extra margin.

Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, linked by a free shuttle train. Airlines are split between them, so check your booking and tell us which terminal you need. easyJet and British Airways both operate from Gatwick.

For departures we drop you at your terminal. For arrivals your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with a name board, then walks you to the car park. Gatwick is a good option for holiday flights to Europe and long-haul leisure routes that aren’t available from Cardiff or Bristol.

Airport drop-off and parking charges are included in your fixed price, so there is nothing extra to pay on the day.

I highly recommend Ibex Shuttle. They offer a premier 5 star transportation luxurious service. I had an excellent experience travelling from Bristol airport to Cardiff in a premier car with a very courteous professional driver. The overall experience was excellent at a very reasonable cost. I highly recommend the company.

The journey to and from the airport was perfect. There was more than enough space for us (a family of 6) and water provided for us on the side. The car was modern and well taken care of. The temperature was always at the perfect range. I highly recommend this

The airport transfer was quick and luxurious. The driver was very polite and he took care of my luggages. The car’s interior was spacious and comfortable, with soft leather seats and bottled water ready for me. The ride was smooth and quiet, and before I knew it, I had arrived at my destination feeling relaxed and well taken care of.
