Gatwick, one
of the largest airports in the UK, with two terminals, North
Terminal and South Terminal, linked by Transit, a monorail
system. South Terminal is the older of the two.
International and
internal flight depart from this airport, both charter flights
and scheduled flights.
The size of the airport
means lots of people almost 24 hours a day, so leave plenty
of time.
Shops are at both
terminals, both before and after you pass through passport
control and security. Passing through security can take a
long time at certain times of the day.
If you are arriving
at Gatwick it can take over an hour to go through customs,
passport control and collect your bags.
Gatwick is non-smoking
except in designated areas.
There is also a viewing
platform on the roof you can visit to watch the aircraft,
with an impressively placed aircraft on the roof.
Passenger
Information will help you if have any problems, and there
are designated meeting places if you are meeting people.
If you
are not checking in all your luggage stay with it, do not
leave unattended as this may cause a security problem.
