The "breakfast" on the morning BA flights to Manchester are warmed to a temperature just under that at the centre of the Sun and so will strip all the skin off the inside of your mouth on contact.Upvoted Oct 4
Roomy check in counters, speedy security & a tidy terminal jam packed with shops & places to snack. Don't fret about getting here too early...gates aren't called until 45 mins"ish" before. 😄🇬🇧✈️
Cass SwallowMay 18, 2013Jamie Oliver's RESTAURANT does an awesome All Day Breakfast. Get as many stag an hen parties in there as possible to annoy the dysfunctional parents that ignore their screaming kids - Av'it!
Easy to get in and through the security if you have only a hand luggage. Surprisingly, not to busy in the early morning even the South Terminal is still closed
Charlotte MaguierDecember 21, 2013There is now a Comptoir Libanais restaurant in the terminal, best food option if you have a bit of time on your hands and want more than a sandwich. Great mezze platter.
The exit gates, where you meet your long lost family or friends, has a handy Costa opposite! Caffeinate yourself ready for baggage delay and over-excitable squeals of delight when they first appear!
J PowerApril 12, 2015Bring good walking shoes worth you cause you might need to walk a few miles (departing or arriving)!
They moved the smoking area from the second floor. It's SO convenient now, you only have to go back downstairs, exit from the building, find the lift at the end because the ramps only go up, and exit.
If you have someone kind enough to come pick you up at the airport, get them to drive round and meet you at the Drop-Off zone instead of paying for the expensive car parks. No waiting in drop off zone
James CoakesNovember 10, 2013Efficient well run airport. The more you travel the more you appreciate the standard. To get the best out of the system deploy respect and a smile.
Natalie MorrisAugust 17, 2013Nicest staff ever! So helpful and friendly. Several employees went above and beyond what is normal...and all with a smile! Every other airport in the world should take note...airports CAN be pleasant
Rick AungiersDecember 18, 2013If you arrive after about 2230 in North Terminal all the Car rental places are closed and you have to go to South Terminal to collect vehicle. A nuisance if have wheelchair but the staff will help
Rob DAugust 8, 201313A / 240V sockets under bench style seats at Starbucks .. Handy if u need a last minute top up for your battery sapping energy indulgent iPhone !
Chris R (thechristophe)September 17, 2018New home of EasyJet. Nice enough try the comptoir libonais. Follow me for tips on vegetarian options and things to do in the capitals of the EU.
Jesus MarotoJanuary 7, 2013If you are Flying to Malaga or Granada to visit the Alhambra and haven't booked a hotel, just go to http://www.hotelcerrodelsol.com, it's a lovely boutique hotel
Gatwick AirportSeptember 19, 2011You can still get 25% off your second pair of shades at Sunglass Hut before you fly abroad, and be prepared for sunnier climbs! Offer applies to all ranges and is on top of the VAT-free prices!
Janneke BoekhorstMarch 4, 2015Always free wifi? Just clean your browser of cookies and history, make a new account and your good to go for another 45 minutes!
SoyuzApril 21, 2014Keep an eye on your stuff all the time - guys at the departure security took away my boarding pass from the tray and unconsciously binned it. Amazing.
MattSeptember 17, 2012Getting the train? Save time buying your tickets at North Terminal right after customs and avoid the epic lines at the station itself. Express & normal (faster ;) train tickets sold.- Jon BillsOctober 1, 2017I long for the days of Easyjet flights from the south terminal. North is a pain to get to, a pain to navigate around, and I takes at least 15 minutes to walk to the gates.
A lot of European flights seem to take off from this terminal. Be sure to get the on floor escalators to get to places slightly quicker.
QOctober 20, 2019Unnecessarily long causeway between the main hub and the actual gates. Always be on standby around the time they announce the gate number, you have to run to make it to you gate. Not cool at all.
Girish NairDecember 11, 2013After you've used your trolley, don't forget to dock your it and take your £1 back. Apparently too many people forget and the money goes to the collectors pockets.
Kamal SekhonSeptember 5, 2011If ur flying via dubai, then do check the duty free alcohol rates there before buying at Gatwick. As it may turn out cheaper & save you the trouble of carry the load half way across your destination!
Maurzio PillituApril 10, 2013Jamie's snack van is absolutely fantastic. Tasty and stylish! Right at the entrance of the terminal, you will notice it!
Dominika Anna KowalikNovember 28, 2012North terminal- smoking areas have a new locations. for departures floor (2) you have to go outside to the balcony and for arrivals floor (g) - outside left.
Prams and wheelchairs now have their own security channel on far right past the Culpepper bar
The cheapest outlet to buy a neck pillow in North Terminal is the Tie Rack outlet (cheaper than Boots, WH Smith, or Dixons Travel).
XNovember 12, 2013Freezing cold air con? Need to charge your phone? There's warmer seats in the far corner of the main lounge (towards gates 45-55 & 101-113) next to the chocolate shop.
Wow this is rough compared to Heathrow or Edinburgh. Small number of restaurants each with a massive queue you probably wouldn’t get through before your flight.- Dominika Anna KowalikNovember 28, 2012North and south terminal- Remember! no smoking area after passport control (airside) so smoke before you go there. you will not be able to return !
Jennifer HowzeJanuary 11, 2013Word to the wise, Gatwick is not in greater London so your Oyster card and pay as you go doesn't work. Be sure to buy a separate ticket before you get on a train to the airport.
Aggelos TaplatzidisNovember 8, 2012"Collect at arrival" service is awesome. Pick up your item, after baggage reclaim, from Left Luggage first floor next to M&S
James SuttonAugust 6, 2014Plenty of places to eat and shop. Try the Jamie Oliver food truck. Free wifi for 45 mins too but you have to register :(- Nuno CoelhoJune 30, 2012If you're travelling with Easyjet and arriving by train at the South Terminal, don't forget to take the Shuttle to the North Terminal
There are 2 Boots: a small, crowded bad tempered one immediately after you exit security on the left; or a much larger one, far side of the hall towards gates 100.
Johnathan WilliamsAugust 22, 2017Pretty much everything. Easier to navigate opposed to London Heathrow
Nick PetrieSeptember 2, 2013There is a new Jamie Oliver place with a bakery that does the best bacon sandwiches in the terminal.
Clark GilliesNovember 18, 2019More compact than South Terminal but just as many shops and cafe/restaurants
HariiJanuary 27, 2012Make sure you check-in online, or you may get caught out. Website says 2 bags free, check-in says, 1 and any extra is £50.00!!
Sourav PanchananMarch 6, 2014Jo Malone for a wee gift .. a must visit when you are here, great perfumes!
Tim MillerOctober 9, 2013The bacon roll and coffee for £4.50 at the milkshake shop is not just edible but actually really nice.
Paulo RementeriaAugust 20, 2018Well if you are saving money this is the terminal. But take the train
Kristin GossettMay 19, 2013There are mains outlets and USB chargers in a bank of blue chairs next to the Money corp kiosk outside of Harrods.
Nick BurchallJune 25, 2012No mcdonalds or burger king! Burgers are £10 everywhere but EnToast have the best offer - beer an burger for a tenner!
Edward KellowJuly 19, 2013Due to planned improvements, Costa has gone, and so has Nero. Prêt is where Nero used to be upstairs by the toilets. Convenient.
James OldenAugust 8, 2012Surely if a customs officer repeats "EU passports this way" 15 times in space of minute it's time to replace them with a sign. #justsaying
