Why take the bus?
Drop any idea of a rattly old charabanc, we're talking about the latest in luxury coaches here, complete with on-board Wi-Fi, guaranteed seats, and all the legroom you could wish for. Yes, you could take the train, but only if you want to go all the way to London Paddington, then jump on a crowded tube train to Victoria and wait for the Gatwick Express (which is usually packed).
How about by car? Again, that's fine, as long as you don't mind negotiating the traffic on the M25 and then trying to find a (pricey) parking space at the airport. How about a taxi? Well, yes, you do have the convenience of a door-to-door trip, but it'll cost you as much as £160. Yikes!
So the most obvious answer is the Oxford to Gatwick Airport bus. At a fraction of the cost of a taxi, it's by far the cheapest way to travel. You're guaranteed a seat, the bus drops you right outside the Terminals at Gatwick Airport, and there's no need to go all the way into London and struggle through rush hour tube rides. Just sit back, relax, plug into the Wi-Fi and chill out while your driver speeds you towards the airport in plenty of time to catch your flight.

Oxford University is the oldest seat of learning in the English-speaking world, making this city of dreaming spires and tranquil quadrants a cultural icon. Golden sandstone buildings give Oxford an 'olde worlde' ambience, and the café culture of student life means the evenings are lively and the club scene is exciting.
Oxford's location puts it close to the M40 motorway and within easy reach of major centres including London, Reading, and Swindon.

At the airport
The coach from Oxford to Gatwick Airport stops at both the North and South terminals, so make sure you know in advance which terminal your flight is leaving from when you book your ticket. Buses for the North Terminal drop you off outside the Arrivals Concourse, while buses for the South Terminal take you to the Arrivals Concourse, with stops 1-5 located at the Lower Forecourt.
It's best to leave yourself plenty of time before your flight is due to depart to clear check-in and security checks. Our top tip is to arrive at least three hours before your scheduled flight time. Once you've checked in, you have time to explore the airport, grab a meal at a restaurant, chill out in a quiet lounge for a while, or spend some of the cash you saved on your bus ticket in the Duty-Free shops. For passengers with mobility issues, the airport is wheelchair friendly.
