We add what the ticket price leaves out — then tell you exactly where the calculation ends and your judgment begins.
Verified for London airports · Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted · Jul 2026
You bring the price you found. Travelvus does not search or book flights. The ticket price is the starting number — not the final cost.
We add checked baggage, seat selection, and airport transfers — measured identically for both options. Transfer costs come from official TfL and National Rail sources.
The lower real cost wins. The winner is always determined from exact values, never from rounded display numbers.
Remove baggage. Change the fare gap. Switch destination. Travelvus recalculates and shows exactly what flipped the verdict.
When the monetary difference is too small, or when time and simplicity matter, Travelvus hands the decision to you — with all the measurable facts visible.
Ticket price, airports, departure and arrival times. You already found the flights. Travelvus does not search or book.
User-providedAirport transfer costs from official TfL and National Rail sources. Walk-up single, contactless/Oyster, off-peak daytime. Both airports measured identically. GBP converted to EUR at 1.17 (July 2026 estimate).
Sourced · updated periodicallySample flight fares, baggage policies, and representative journey times. These are scenario assumptions — not live data, not guaranteed prices. We label estimates clearly.
Estimate · scenario assumptionThe winner is always determined from exact values. Displayed totals are rounded to the nearest euro. A small raw win never shows as “wins by €0” — we say “just wins” instead. Exact ties remain ties.
Travelvus can calculate the money truth. It cannot decide whether €4 is worth 20 extra minutes on a train. It cannot decide whether simplicity matters more than a narrow cost advantage.
When the margin is too thin for arithmetic alone, Travelvus hands the decision to you — with all the measurable facts visible.
This is not a limitation. It is the product.
Heathrow, Gatwick, and Stansted. Real cost, door-to-door time, what changes the winner, and hidden trade-offs.
