Hounslow is on the western outskirts of London, while Victoria is in the
centre - so your starting point will make a big difference.

The cheapest way from Victoria to all three airports (Gatwick, Stansted
or Luton) is by National Express coach. Go to ..

http://www.nationalexpress.com/ and then click on the "Airports" tab.

From Hounslow, you can get to Victoria easily by tube (take the
Piccadilly line and change to the District at Hammersmith). But you may
find it cheaper and quicker to go in the opposite direction from
Hounslow to Heathrow (only a short journey) since there are direct
National Express coach services from London Heathrow to all three other
airports that you mention.

While travelling by coach is cheap, do remember that the distances are
considerable and roads are often congested, so allow plenty of time.

Depends how many people but to Gatwick and Luton, a local minicab will
probably be the cheapest and give a door to door service.
You could go into London and get a Thameslink train to either or pay the
extra for the Gatwick Express for Gatwick from victoria.
But for four people it will probably be more expensive what with the cost to
get into London + the fare to the airport each.
Plus depending on what time then theres the hassle factor of changing lines
etc etc.

For Stansted, it a bugger from Hounslow. Cheapest way is probably drive
there yourself and park there.
But thats dependent on how long you spend away.

The other option is the coach from Heathrow but thats totally dependent on
what kinda deal you can find.
If its full price then once again it'll cost quite a bit if there are four
of you. But it's probably the best bet if there is just one of you.

Sorry I havent suggested any public transports.

Let us know what your situation is and i'll offer some tips.
