By car the driver heads onto the M25 at junction 22 and anticlockwise past Heathrow to junction 7, then down the M23.
By rail, Thameslink runs from St Albans City straight through London to Gatwick Airport, usually without a change.
By public transport: Thameslink direct to Gatwick, about 90–105 min. The catch is a long ride with luggage and no seat guarantee. A car does the whole trip door to door in about 60 min, or 90 min when the roads are full, with your bags in the boot.
