There is a regular service and the
cost is £2 per trip – wherever you
want to go on Guernsey. So if you
have never ventured to that small
Island in the English Channel,
just 30 miles from Normandy,
then it is well worth a visit.
As an added advantage Flybe
passengers choosing Southampton
airport as a convenient gateway
to the heart of London from
Guernsey can now purchase a
new discounted Rail-Air train
ticket with South West Trains
when booking online at www.
flybe.com giving them an affordable fasttrack train service between Southampton
Airport (Parkway Station) and London
Waterloo.
It’s only 99 steps from the airport

concourse to Southampton Parkway train
station and Rail-Air will offer a choice of
up to 50 trains a day with a journey time
of just over an hour, making Southampton
a viable alternative to Gatwick. Those
passengers buying a return rail ticket will

also be offered the benefit of fast-track
access through airport security on return to
the airport, at no extra cost.
