Flying to Southampton
Southampton is a major port city on the south coast—cruises, maritime history, and easy access to the New Forest and Isle of Wight. Southampton Airport is small and convenient, with good European links.
Getting there
Southampton Airport (SOU) is about 4 miles north of the city centre, with good bus and train links. It has European and domestic routes. If you’re coming from farther away, London airports are about 80–100 miles and have many more flights; the train from London to Southampton is quick. Use the search form above to compare SOU and London for your route and dates.
When to fly
Peak times are summer and when cruise season is busy. For better value, look at January–March or October–November. Tuesday and Wednesday are typically cheaper than weekends.
Southampton is the UK’s cruise capital. If you're starting or ending a cruise here, SOU’s convenience can be worth it—otherwise compare with London and add train cost and time.
