Plymouth to Gatwick Airport

The Plymouth to Gatwick airport transfer spans approximately 240 miles, offering a comfortable journey through the heart of southern England. Our experienced drivers typically follow the A38 through Devon, connecting to the M5 at Exeter. The route continues past Bristol and through Somerset, before joining the M4 towards London. Near Reading, we transition to the M25, circling around to the M23 which leads directly to Gatwick Airport.

This journey showcases the diversity of English landscapes, from Devon's rolling hills to the Surrey countryside. The total journey time is approximately 4 to 4.5 hours under normal conditions. However, the M25 can experience significant congestion, particularly during rush hours and Friday afternoons. Our drivers are well-versed in alternative routes, including the A303 and A31 through Hampshire, which can save valuable time during peak periods.

Gatwick Airport is the UK's second-busiest airport, handling over 46 million passengers annually. The North Terminal hosts airlines including Emirates, while the South Terminal serves British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. The free shuttle train between terminals runs every 2-3 minutes, taking just 2 minutes to complete the journey. Both terminals offer extensive shopping and dining options, from high street favorites to luxury brands.

For your return journey from Gatwick to Plymouth, we monitor your flight's arrival time and adjust accordingly. Our standard meeting point is at the arrivals hall after you've collected your luggage. We include 60 minutes of free waiting time for international flights and 45 minutes for domestic flights, ensuring a stress-free experience even if there are delays at immigration or baggage reclaim.
