Taxi to Southampton Airport
Southampton Airport is in Eastleigh, a few miles north of Southampton city centre, right next to junction 5 of the M27. It is a compact, single-terminal airport with mainly domestic and short-haul European flights, so drop-off is quick and the walk to check-in is short. Allow about two hours before departure unless your airline says otherwise.
From Winchester or Southampton the drive is around 15 to 20 minutes. From Portsmouth along the M27 it is about half an hour, which makes Southampton a convenient alternative to the London airports for many people on the south coast.

Airport to Cruise Ship: Southampton Cruise Terminal Transfers
Many travellers fly into Southampton, or into Heathrow and Gatwick, to join a cruise. From Southampton Airport to the cruise terminals in the docks it is about 23 minutes, and a saloon costs £45.27 from our booker. Cruise luggage is bulky, so most couples are more comfortable in an estate and families in an MPV. See Southampton cruise terminal taxi prices for fares to the port from other airports and from London.
Southampton Airport Taxi vs the Train
Southampton Airport Parkway station is right beside the terminal, with trains to Southampton Central, Winchester and London Waterloo. For a single traveller going to a station, the train is good value. A taxi makes more sense for families, groups, heavy luggage, cruise passengers, or anyone going somewhere the train doesn’t reach directly.

Choose the Right Car

| Estate | 4 | 4 | Extra luggage |
| Executive | 3 | 2 | Business travel |
| MPV | 6 | 4 | Families and small groups |
