- Katie WongApril 17, 2013Don't bother with the Gatwick express. The train from Kings Cross is much faster.
- Free WiFi? Nah, not in this Third World airport. CheapoAir means long Q's, few checkin staff and excess luggage charges.
- Chris BirkettApril 20, 2013It's 10 in the morning! You have just got out of bed. You do not need to sleep!!!! Freaks!
- Gatwick express is unreliable and the staff are homophobic - just heard a member of staff say "he runs like a poof"!
- Ben TuffMay 18, 2012Hell on earth. Home of those who travel once a year and unionised morons working on security. Welcome to the UK.
- Massively improved security area at south terminal. Whizzed through in less than 5 mins.
- Smokers should plan to get there at least 15 minutes earlier than others if they want that smoke between check-in and security. Annoyingly long conveyor belts to get through!
- £20 fine for assuming I could use my Oyster card to get here.
- Ted StrikerJanuary 7, 2012right now, it doesn't look very good. Maybe it will be ready for olympics?
- Don't harass airport staff when they're having a break.. It's called breaktime for a reason!? Now fuck off and leave me in peace ;)
- There are petrol stations near both terminals where you can wait when collecting someone. Saves on short-term parking fees!
- Catalina Gonzalez ZettlerMay 23, 2013Expect delays... And don't worry passing security is really fast...
- To London bridge: look the timetable. Sometimes the after is the faster and the better
- Managed to get to airport gate without being asked for the passport once... I bet it will be now.
- emma bJanuary 20, 2013Be prepared to wait up to an hour for immigration and if flying with Ba then only 45% of bags arrive within 55mins compared to 98% for emirates!ore waiting then!
- Jose VillalobosDecember 7, 2017It was pretty plain and without any good stuff horrible for having to wait a flight
- Need the loo? Wait until airside. They are much cleaner.
- Sanj MatharuSeptember 17, 2011North terminal refurb is nice but you have GOT to check out the planes.
- Joan Vidal BoschDecember 11, 2016Is is nice if you go to the north terminal, the south is really boring
- MEL BROWN STUDIOSSeptember 15, 2014It's an airport an it's gatwick. Prepare for a long ass wait and some crappy miserable people. Some fab eats but just a manic airport!
- Don't take gatwick express, take first capital express to London bridge instead
- Kallen AMarch 16, 2013Just a warning... They'll cut your luggage lock and take it when you're leaving even if it's an approved lock that wasn't broken on the way there.
- Easyjet newbies: don't fight it. If you follow the system, it works. Embrace the Orange.
- Fraser MacDonaldOctober 12, 2015No provision whatsoever for domestic flight connections - got through passport control to the exit and start again. WTF?!
