How to book cheap train tickets from London Waterloo to Gatwick Airport

Season Tickets for frequent travels

Are you frequently traveling between London Waterloo and Gatwick Airport on a weekly, monthly, or annual basis? Season Tickets provide unlimited travel during specific times, allowing you to freely hop on and off trains between two stations without worrying about individual ticket bookings, and offering significant savings in the process.

Network Railcard for Southeast England

For only a small annual fee, you can save 1/3 on most fares in Southeast England, including routes in and out of London, with the Network Railcard. Covering both standard and off-peak tickets, this railcard is particularly beneficial for those who travel regularly within this region.

Travelling in off-peak train times

Taking advantage of Off-Peak train tickets is another effective way to save on your train journey from London Waterloo to Gatwick Airport. These tickets are generally cheaper and can be used during quieter periods, typically outside of morning (06:30-09:30) and evening (16:00-19:00) rush hours on weekdays.

Using the Railcard for 1/3 off

You can choose a Railcard to help you save up to 1/3 on fares from London Waterloo to Gatwick Airport for various reasons, such as your age (including the 16-25 Railcard or Senior Railcard) or options geared towards group travel (Family & Friends Railcard and Two Together Railcard). Discover more here.

Split Tickets to save an average extra 30%

Splitting tickets is a perfectly legal practice that involves purchasing separate, cheaper tickets for different segments of your journey on the same train instead of a single ticket for the entire trip. For example, if you are travelling from London Waterloo to Gatwick Airport, you might discover that buying a ticket from A to C, and then another ticket from C to B, is more economical than a direct ticket.

Book in advance to save an average of 61%

Advance Tickets are typically released up to 12 weeks before the travel date and can offer significant savings compared to tickets purchased closer to departure. By planning your trip from London Waterloo to Gatwick Airport ahead of time and booking your tickets early, you can potentially save up to 61% on your travel expenses.
