The Easyjet flight to Gatwick airport from Helsinki

[lou_12]

Thanks for all the suggestions and answers guys.

I think we'll just stay in the travelodge, or wait in the airport, got a feeling we'll not be the only ones as penelope said there's a strike beginning... joyous!! It's only 7 hours, last year I waited 16 hours in Riga to get home, just love the airport stays and living in the sticks!!

Also, just a random question...
Does anyone know if I can get from Gatwick to Heathrow in a taxi in around an hour?

[steve7871]

Yes it should take around one hour at that time of night in a taxi.

Taxi from LGW to LHR is going to be big bucks surely? Why not a national express jobby?

Gatwick North to Fulham Broadway in 1hr for £2

Save time and hassle getting to the trains in South Terminal

Is easyjet just an online booking airline or can one actually go to their office and reserve/buy a ticket

[lou_12]

I don't know about any offices as such, but you can obviously buy tickets at the airport. Online is just faster, easier and lazier

My parents are coming here on the 21st Dec and as British Airways has already announced possible strike action for that date they have already booked themselves into a Travelodge near Heathrow (even though they might not need it). They've had problems before (in fact nearly every time they come here at Xmas they have problems).

Things are looking better for your parents now:

British Airways Wins Injunction To Avert Strike

Not a bad idea to keep that reservation, though. There must be all kinds of ways an unhappy union can wreck Christmas traffic without actually going on strike.

You'll pay through the nose to do so no doubt:
