Jackie OJune 2, 2013There doesn't seem to be the helpful 'customer assistance' wandering around the departures area like before
Sam SalesJune 21, 2013Don't be that guy who take up an entire bench for a nap. Nobody likes that guy.
Jean-Michel RDecember 4, 2014The departures area leaves something to be desired but the men's bathroom in arrivals was nice.
Get yourself a nice book at WHSmith and shorten your flight.
Richard CleverlyApril 11, 2011Dress for extremes of temperature there seem to be several microclimates to accompany the peculiar airport sub cultures
Kenneth SharpJuly 13, 2011Useful Tip in case you need to send an old fashioned fax. The skybreaks desk will do it for a small charge.
Best seats for comfort in departures are outside AllSaints
Ladies loos in south terminal are lovely! Lots out of order though- Observe the participants of daytime TV shows with buckets and spades passing by

Don't sit on the floor... You look like you have given up on life...
Arif TopcuJanuary 5, 2015Not far away to the central London, Victoria Stn. 25 min by Gatwick Express.
Main tip? Avoid Gatwick. It's a shambles of an airport. You'd be better off landing at Bristol and hitching.
Baggage reclaim u have to have coins for a trolley ridiculous considering how many foreigners come for the first time not a good way to welcome money spending tourists !
Looks like buggy testing has gone, be prepared for a long walk
Make sure you know your terminal before arriving.
EasyJet staff are ridiculous. The lady got too excited about making someone pay for an oversized cabin bag, she forgot to check my visa...
Thomas Cook have a max and luggage of 5kg so avoid bringing too much as expensive ! 15 pounds per kg
The croissants in Costa at the north terminal aren't fresh.
Lydia BerkennouJanuary 28, 2015It's really expensive to get there but the staff is nicer than Heathrow.
The Polish attendant has taken my bag because it was an inch too big. That is easyjet meets ryanair!
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!
RudiFebruary 7, 2015Don't fly here: the trains are a mess, arrive at the wrong platforms, and will be like that until 2018
A lot of building work going on, great big queue at passport control and it took ages to get to baggage hall.
Katie WongApril 17, 2013Don't bother with the Gatwick express. The train from Kings Cross is much faster.
