    Does anyone have a discount code for the Gatwick Express, need to book two return tickets and the website is only offering a 10% discount.

    The code is 'give me a Southern ticket' - quite a bit cheaper and very little slower. Or FCC if you start at London Bridge rather than Victoria.

    And book in advance for specified trains on Southern's own website and it starts at £3.70 a head each way.
  • Tried booking on Southern but as soon as I enter Gatwick as destination... woosh... off to the Gatwick Express site!

    Just booked with First Capital Connect from Gatwick to St Pancras. £9.40. Not as cheap as £3.70, true, but still a lot cheaper than Gatwick Express. In fact the journey time to London Bridge is a minute less than the GX to Victoria and there is a perfectly acceptable underground link there. I booked through to St Pancras as the links there were better for me but it's the same price as London Bridge or any other London station.

    Booked throught the FCC website where there are no fees but it is a walk up fare available on the day. For the time I booked it the cheapest Southern fare was £7.20 but that particular train was significantly slower.

    Are there any wonderful half price or BOGOF Heathrow Express tickets anywhere?

    Anyone know how often they come around? I've booked flights for 17th November so wanting to hold out for the cheapest possible prices!

    Seeing as you don't fly for another few months its probably worth holding out for an offer to come along. Check FlyerTalk forums as offers often get posted there. The main thread is here http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/british-airways-executive-club/802423-heathrow-express-codes-13.html although do a full forum search as there are often separate threads. Might also be worth subscribing to Groupon for London and London Special. The Heathrow Express has been on there twice this year. Last time I got tickets for £7.50 each way.

    Heathrow Express update: Their 25% off for groups of two or more was supposed to end in a couple of days time but I've just put in dates for October and December and been offered two return tickets for £48 which suggests that the deal has either been extended. First class is available at £75 for 2 return tickets.

    Tried going through the All Nippon site to see if I would be offered an extra 14% off but I think they have grown wise to that little scam and the price offered was the same.

    The original offer was for travel before midnight on the 4th of September (returning within a month) but I'm now booked for October :T

    Hanging back for December just in case we get a BOGOF offer :D

    If you mean the Heathrow Express here's the link for the 14% discount:

    £27.52 instead of £32 for a return ticket. Not brilliant but better than nothing. :cool:
