    A lot of building work going on, great big queue at passport control and it took ages to get to baggage hall.

    Don't bother with the Gatwick express. The train from Kings Cross is much faster.

    Shame no available power outlets to charge phones. It will be embarrassing to get to the gate and show the BA boarding pass on their app... Or not...

    Free WiFi? Nah, not in this Third World airport. CheapoAir means long Q's, few checkin staff and excess luggage charges.

    Hell on earth. Home of those who travel once a year and unionised morons working on security. Welcome to the UK.

    Gatwick express is unreliable and the staff are homophobic - just heard a member of staff say "he runs like a poof"!

    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!

    There are petrol stations near both terminals where you can wait when collecting someone. Saves on short-term parking fees!

    Just 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.
