Gatwick AirportFebruary 8, 2012Unisex accessible toilets are provided near most toilet blocks. Occasionally the accessible toilet is located inside the mens or ladies toilets. Read more
Register for the IRIS program to make re-entering the UK a breeze. Enrollment centre is by Gate 90, and it's Free!- Best place for breakfast is Joe's Kitchen in the North Terminal
Jean-Michel RNovember 5, 2014Save yourself a nightmare and check-in online. You can check in up to 45 minutes prior to departure. Not a second longer.
Currently, North terminal is not convenient due to the maintenance- Don't expect much in terms of comfort or modern facilities. It's a very tired and cramped place.
Elisa McCaffertyDecember 21, 2011The Bloody Mary's are great. Avoid the Candy Cane Martini at all costs.
Mat CollisFebruary 16, 2015Gatwick is ok now. Used to be a lot worse. Pretty good selection of shops with food and clothes outlets. Avoid comptoir libonais at all costs though!
Dave HardikOctober 11, 2010nice time pass at caffe nero - londra, if u r early. its upstairs once u pass through security!!
Laura iCandyJanuary 8, 2012Apparently gates open three hours early now so get there as soon as possible to avoid the queues...
Jamie SimpsonJuly 1, 2013Restaurant options before security are limited and all serve the same things
I don't like going through this airport, there's always a hassle. I bought round trip Gatwick Express & found out on day of return there was no service! Ended up taking taxi. Nope never again!
Kamal BMarch 15, 2014Taxi. never ever take a taxi between Heathrow airport and Gatwick. Robbery. 160 £. Take bus. Frequent service comfortable and MUCH cheaper.
Jo ThanaponJune 7, 2012Gatwick Express costs around £16 whereas normal train service costs about £7. Both take approximately 30 minutes to Central London.
Don't waste time at the bureau de change, you can take out euros at many of the ARMs commission free pre and post security.
Isabella JopeNovember 3, 2013Wait to use the toilets in the South Terminal arrivals hall--can you say AWESOME renovations?!
Gabriel FloresOctober 3, 2011Take the train to London Bridge via First Capital Connect and it's much cheaper that Gatwick Express! :-)
Christine HFebruary 10, 2019The South Terminal - WTF? Walking through winding, dingy hallways, dead ends, closets, and no signage. What a dump.
Gari WellinghamJune 15, 2013Don't come here after you've transferred from the luxury of Heathrow Terminal 5 - you will be disappointed!!!
Lounge passes now useless. Have to prebook and pay extra for the privilege...
ugrMay 22, 2015I've never been in an airport making delay of 1hr 20 mins for permission to departure.
Tim FletcherMay 23, 2011On the ground floor by the bus terminal is a great place to sleep... when they're not installing lifts.
Enjoy the relaxing sound while you go to 101-110 gates.
Take the train from London Bridge. Cheaper and just as quick
- Eric DohertyNovember 7, 2017No idea why BA relocated to the South Terminal. It's a very tired terminal with very limited shopping. BA lounge is ok.
Lindsey MountfordJune 16, 2012If getting the bus to Ramada Plaza, it's the H1 or H5 from stop 9, £3.20
Jordi SinclairJuly 9, 2012Avoid the toilets near Pret, it's an extra 5 minute walk down the corridor-not good when you're desperate!
Posh toilets near M&S and train station - I mean seriously good!
If you're going to Victoria, avoid the gatwick express, take any ttain to Victoria, way cheaper and only takes 7 more minutes!!!!
Areti PardalouApril 20, 2012If you wait for someone in south terminal eat a slice of lemon cake from costa
