Southside Travel provides fixed-price taxis from Southampton to Heathrow Airport, dropping you at the door of your terminal, including Terminal 5. We collect from your home, hotel or any Southampton cruise terminal, and we meet you in arrivals for the return trip.

Heathrow is about 70 miles from Southampton via the M3. The drive normally takes 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, and we plan your pickup time around your check-in, not just the flight time.
