Heathrow Terminal 2, 3, 4 & 5 to Southampton — where your driver meets you
Tell us your terminal and flight number and your driver will be waiting in the correct arrivals hall. For a Heathrow Terminal 5 to Southampton taxi (British Airways and Iberia) we meet you at the arrivals meeting point on the ground floor by Costa. A Heathrow Terminal 2 to Southampton taxi (Star Alliance — Lufthansa, United, Air Canada, Singapore Airlines) meets in the Queen's Terminal arrivals hall. A Heathrow Terminal 3 to Southampton taxi (Virgin Atlantic, Delta, American, Emirates, Qatar) meets at the arrivals-hall meeting point by WHSmith, and a Heathrow Terminal 4 to Southampton taxi (KLM, Air France, Etihad, Qatar) meets in the main arrivals hall.
We include 45 minutes of free waiting time from the moment your flight lands, and because we track the flight, that clock starts from the actual touchdown — not the scheduled one. If immigration is slow or a bag is delayed, message or call your driver and we will hold your car. Naming your terminal also removes Heathrow's terminal-boundary charge from the quote, so your Heathrow to Southampton airport transfer is as cheap as it can be.
Heathrow to Southampton cruise port taxi — timed to your sailing
The most-booked version of this journey is the Heathrow to Southampton cruise terminal taxi.
