How to Choose"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Every route to the airport has trade-offs. Here\u2019s how they compare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Taxi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Door to door, with no changes and no carrying bags through stations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Fixed price when you book in advance, so you know the fare before you travel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Good for early-morning or late-night flights, when public transport is limited.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Often better value when you\u2019re travelling as a group and splitting the fare.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Train<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Can be cheap for solo travellers who live near a direct line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Delays, strikes and engineering works can disrupt journeys.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Awkward with heavy luggage, children or mobility needs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Driving and parking<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Flexible, but parking, fuel and tolls add up on longer trips.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll need to allow time to park and get to the terminal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
You have to drive home after a long flight when you may be tired.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
So which is best?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
A taxi tends to win when you have luggage, a group, an early start or a late arrival. A train can suit a light-packing solo traveller near a good line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
