How do crew change transfers from Heathrow to Southampton work?
- Book the transfer with each joiner's flight number and the vessel's berth or port.
- We track the flight and time the pickup around the actual landing.
- The driver meets the crew in arrivals with a name board and takes them to the port, a hotel or the ship.
- Off-signers are collected from the port or hotel and taken to the airport for their flight home.
We run Heathrow to Southampton transfers regularly and know the cruise and port terminals there.
