The Jamie Oliver bacon bap with fried onions is just what you need for that early flight
themanwiththeluggageMarch 31, 2018Nothing special compared to LHR. Conveniently located (30 min out of Victoria with Gatwick Express), extensive duty free (24/7) and decent amount of food venues.
Gatwick AirportFebruary 8, 2012Specially equipped rooms for feeding and changing babies are indicated by a bottle sign or a babycare symbol. There are also fold-down tables provided in some male and female toilets. Read more
J PowerDecember 16, 2014There's more train options than just the expensive Gatwick Express! If you have a few minutes more, you should look into this when getting into London.
Jonathan M.December 18, 2015I've always loved the feeling I had when waiting here! Many places to eat, buy things,..
How to get over 2 hours of wifi for free: sign in first with chrome, then when the time is up, register again using ie, then again with mozilla, opera etc... you shall not have to pay any thing! Hehe
Eat a s*itty toast at Jamie's Coffee and pay an amount like you had a full breakfast. Magic.
If you're stuck in the airport, the Hampton Inn in the North Terminal has a pretty nice cafe....
Good airport, but if you travel late at night, it would be difficult to find smth to eat :(
Don't want to walk miles for a cigarette in the South Terminal? Go down the stairs by the easyJet ticket desk and you'll find a designated smoking area just outside.
Allow 15 min to get to gates 100+ there's a coffee shop and newsagent there so don't rush to drink your coffee in main area Get it at the gates
Free water fountain ⛲ at the entrance of the toilets near Harrods!
Good at departures! Awful at arrivals - expect to be bussed from your plane, spend 20 minutes on travelators and shuttles to get to the under served, weekend closure hit, train station
Zeynep Ozturk OzyerJuly 23, 2017I really like this airport because it is easy to check-in and pass through all security checks.
StarlinSeptember 3, 2017Traffic connection is good via Thameslink to St Pancras railway station. :) Remember buy return tickets to avoid long quote.
Jet AirwaysAugust 22, 2011Witness the streets of London as they transform into a colourful burst of feathers, glitter, myriad swaying hips and deep Caribbean beats, only at the Notting Hill Carnival on 28th and 29th August.
Kathryn MillicanSeptember 23, 2014Lovely airport, alot of passengers go through here so expect some delays going through security etc.
Mark LeeJanuary 29, 2020Gate 10 South .. after separate boarding group lanes you all end up in one seating area. Let’s see what happens with actual boarding.
Carol LamJuly 25, 2017Prams available right after we got off the plane. Kids are comfortably seated through customs and all the way to baggage reclaim. Winning!
Flights arriving from the UK and Ireland can bypass immigration - look out for the dedicated bypass lane on the right hand side of the immigration hall
Great place to catch a flight. I often find easyJet a pleasure to fly.
Dasha ZaytsevaJuly 28, 2017Be ready that if you don't hold EU passport you will have to wait a huge line for passport control
I wish all those Railways-clerks at the entrance of the South Terminal an education, so they can apply for proper jobs and stop frustrate honest people.
M RSeptember 1, 2018Be careful with fluids , better than health row , smaller and the staff is easier.
The normal trains are significantly cheaper than the express ones that everyone is trying to sell you tickets for
There are lots of great high street stores airside at south terminal, so be sure to bring some spending money!
They revamped the security screening so it's actually pretty efficient now.
Gatwick Exspress is a ripoff, buy a ticket for Southern Train + London Zones 1-6 for only 13£!! Buy it at the south terminal train station.
Ioann ManJuly 2, 2012:]] There is a lot of duty free stores!!! :)). Great opportunity to spend money xD
Artem SanaevJanuary 25, 2014The airport requires a renovation, but despite that it reachable within 20 min by rail from Central London.
If you're just changing trains, come get a coffee or drink and pretend you're going on holiday
Radj SantosOctober 8, 2014Boarding time! Off to Spain for holiday with @jerome_downey #holiday #spain #jetsetter #holiday #beach #sun #love
Павел БилащукMay 9, 2017Not far from London, pretty comfortable Airport, but free wi-fi only 90 minutes and you need to reconnect.
EmmaJuly 23, 2013If you're staying near King's Cross/St Pancras you can take the train to Gatwick without traveling to Victoria.
Anastasiya O_bushaSeptember 27, 2013If you fly with Easyjet and did't buy ticket to Gatwick express, it's ok to buy it on board. You will escape the queues at the terminal
Speed, efficiency, safety seem to be the priorities here. Well run.
Filip KábrtOctober 25, 2016Drinking fountains ARE there. One is near the toilets. The water at the toilets is only warm.
Bart Jan BootsmaSeptember 11, 2013Getting there is easy but make sure you'll get the right trainticket. They'll fine you £40 if not, yes, including a receipt..
Niraj AlokJune 9, 2013Don't take the first capital connect train back to London. Less frequent and doesn't stop at London bridge sometimes. Southern to Victoria is more frequent and same time as Gatwick express.
Luison C. (SU1)April 30, 2013I kind of like to see Airports as nice places to say good bye or give hugs to your people after a long trip....in this one, no hugs, no good-byes, no nice...depressing
Marie Wilson-smythMarch 18, 2016Lots of easy self bag dropping machines in the North terminal. No coffee to be had in the main gate area (55)!! :0((
Cafe Rouge in the South Terminal has windows overlooking the airfield...
Officially the worst free wifi sign-up and sign-in process in the world... You have to verify your email address to connect but to verify your email you need Internet.
