    The departures area leaves something to be desired but the men's bathroom in arrivals was nice.

    Main tip? Avoid Gatwick. It's a shambles of an airport. You'd be better off landing at Bristol and hitching.

    Spend as little time as possible here - its a disgraceful airport - BAA should hang their heads in shame at the lack of cleaners and general positive vibe!
