dot2dot is a new airport transfer service between Heathrow Airport, London hotels and Gatwick Airport. It is a part of the National Express group, which is the biggest transport provider to London's airports. It promises to provide: 1. Efficient door to door (or shall I say dot 2 dot) service. 2. No need to worry about traffic since the shuttles are allowed to use express bus lanes. 3. Relieves you from the stress of flagging a taxi. And, it's actually cheaper than a taxi. 4. 24 hour control team, incase of delays. 5. It guarantees the passenger no more than 3 stops.
