Artemy UstimenkoSeptember 14, 2014The south terminal arrivals toilet gives an unusual feeling of privacy
Chris PullenMay 1, 2012Always buy your ticket before boarding a train. It saves the embarrassment and cost of a penalty fare
Shohldve parked at McDonalds and got whoever you are picking up to call you rather than use short stay carpark!
Priya DhillonAugust 21, 2014Never ever take the easyjet bus to Waterloo, it's a 90 min horror ride and not 40 min as the website says. So either a town car or the train
Alex JonesNovember 1, 2013Come here if you are going to leave the country via plane. What else can you say its a fucking airport!
It's roughly 5-7 minutes between the train station and the north terminal if you're just strolling along.
Free wifi for 45mins with the Boingo Hotspot upstairs...
Shelley MillerOctober 4, 2012The word bus in London means "public" bus. If you want National Express it's referred to as a "coach."
Temperature is very low so bring your sweatshirt with you!
Dani HafidApril 25, 2023Never cash withdrawal with the "free cash withdrawal" blue ATM machines, they will charge you fortune , biggest scam
eDreamsAugust 1, 2011After leaving the plane, run to avoid the queue at passport check. It might sound a bit odd but you'll thank us later.
Si FeaseyNovember 3, 2011Just because its called London Gatwick, doesn't mean its in London - its approx 30 miles to South London and 50 To Central London, Heathrow or London City are better options......
There is pedastrian bridge over airport. Cool to walk
Melinda PamungkasOctober 14, 2013Catching a flight with Monarch airlines to Barcelona. Pretty cheap £40 10kg carry on only.
Jay LeeOctober 30, 2014North terminal is too far from Gatwick Railway station! Free shuttle available.
Have to buy ticket BEFORE you get on the train now...they have installed barriers before the platforms
If staying at a local hotel the drop off bus stop for south terminal is much more accessible than the N terminal. Transfer to north via train shuttle
Danette SusanneJuly 16, 2016We had 3 hrs between flights and it took all 3 from passport control, change terminals, back thru security, passport verify again...Very long lines, poor layout, lost $ on pre purchase airport lounge
Scott SymeOctober 23, 2012If going to Gatwick on British Rail you have to then get a shuttle train to the North Terminal.- RichieNovember 12, 2017Worse airport I ever landed on transfer.A mean officer confiscated all that we bought on the plane.Even things,that passed earlier security check.Maybe just periodic moode?Shame it got on our kids!
Lorenzo MazzilliOctober 18, 2011If you need to charge your phone and don't have uk plug adapter, try the plug for razor in bathroom!!
- Heathrow's little brother. Never as nice as Heathrow Terminal 5 but definitely better that T4.
If picking someone up at SOUTH Terminal, aim for CAR PARK 3 (Orange) level 2 for less walking. #BigAndClever
Sarah GilbertJuly 15, 2011Arrive early! Improvements that are being made mean that getting through security is taking forever at the moment.
The First Capital Connect service to London Bridge gets you to the city faster than the Gatwick Express
Sacha SukasamApril 1, 2012Apparently no one on this flight had ever been on a plane before and don't know what to do with themselves. C'mon people! Sit down, buckle up, hand luggage under the seat!
Heathrow TaxiSeptember 25, 2014
Stefan DidrikJune 29, 2013Their self serviced drop of your luggage machines are a trigger to heart failure
- JackMay 16, 2017Security is a mess give yourself time. North terminal has better food then South terminal. Express train is not worth it, since it takes only 30 minutes less and costs more than double.
Get water, drinks, coffee etc before you head to your flight gate - there are only vending machines at the gates.
