Michael BSeptember 9, 2012Savvy Traveller says terrible flight check-in info so be prepared to hunt for your check-in desk!
Sarah GilbertJuly 15, 2011Arrive early! Improvements that are being made mean that getting through security is taking forever at the moment.
It Can fee l a bit grim at Gatwick even with the refurbishments.
Jo KosterMay 20, 2010If you have checked in online, you can go thru the envoy class line at USAir Gatwick; you don't have to wait in the coach line.
Murray BillJuly 8, 2013AirBaltic only charge you £9 for the privilege of queuing up for 15 minutes and checking in. Bargain.
It's foggy here today but there are landings and take-offs so a normal day then..... CAT III facilities @ LGW makes it a normal day every day.
Fortunate this time to leave from South Terminal which is preferable to the other one
Karen ChuiMarch 28, 2013I normally try to avoid this airport at all cost (booked wrong ticket by mistake) as heathrow a thousand times more convenient if ur final dest is london zone 1-2
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!
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!
Stefan DidrikJune 29, 2013Their self serviced drop of your luggage machines are a trigger to heart failure
Heathrow's little brother. Never as nice as Heathrow Terminal 5 but definitely better that T4.
BlazAugust 24, 2014Buy a ticket cause the Oyster card doesn't work. Long corridors but nice airport.
eDreamsAugust 8, 2011Don't queue to buy your train ticket (The Gatwick express), you can buy it on board with your cc for the same price.
Pert are using Specials to advertise the Xmas sandwich, but no offer attached. Bad form guys, I now won't be stopping by for a tea. Get your social right!- 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.
Can you imagine a London AirPort without any electricity plug working? Well that is Gatwick!
Rian WatsonFebruary 6, 2013The sight of Gatwick airport is only pleasant when you're leaving London.
Alex JonesNovember 1, 2013Come here if you are going to leave the country via plane. What else can you say its a fucking airport!
Jennifer FreemanMarch 15, 2012Fly easyjet ,fantastic airline and the best cabin crew in the world :-)
Save yourself for the swanky new toilets outside of arrivals. Look amazingly out of place.
Nathan RocheApril 9, 2010If there are two of you staying in an airport hotel, get a taxi. The "complimentary" shuttle costs £3 each. The bus must be made out of magic.
BrianJune 19, 2014Why would anyone opt to build another runway here, when their passport queues currently stretch almost back to the airbridges? No capacity for their existing traffic! So frustrating. Waited 45 mins
Never under any circumstance, change money at the moneycorp currency exchanges(its all moneycorp) The whole airport stays afloat from the money they suck off poor suckers from these joints.
Dilek UnarSeptember 4, 2014Too many brands, too many shopping options. If you like shopping, definitely go earlier.
THIS IS NOT LONDON. Fabulous airport though, especially since the improvements!
We cant buy the ticket in the train no more, has to be before getting on the platform.
- Rich BosaaenSeptember 10, 2017Easyjet is the worst airline.. we arrived at 10:30 for a 12:35 flight and could not find anyone who would help code in our car seat.. we kept getting passed off for other people.
Stefania ManiFebruary 4, 2015Not my favorite London Airport to be honest, the coach takes ages to get in Central London, get the train.
Don't do what I did and sit on the wing of the plane when it takes off!
The e-gates are finally working. Will get you past passport control in no time.
I met my wife here 20 years ago when we worked at the Gatwick Hilton - could been out of prison now if I committed murder lol
