Which terminal?

Gatwick has two separate terminals with different road approaches. Getting dropped at the wrong one means a 2-minute shuttle — annoying but not catastrophic. Still, confirm your terminal before you book.

South Terminal

easyJet + BA Gatwick + others

The original, larger terminal. Directly connected to Gatwick train station (Gatwick Express, Thameslink). The inter-terminal shuttle departs from the arrivals level of South Terminal.

Key airlines

easyJet (most routes), British Airways (Gatwick departures), Norwegian, Vueling, Wizz Air

North Terminal

Jet2, TUI, Virgin, Ryanair

Newer, slightly smaller terminal. Separate road approach from the M23. Inter-terminal shuttle from NT arrivals. Allow 10–15 minutes if connecting between terminals.

Key airlines

Jet2, TUI, Virgin Atlantic, Ryanair (most routes), Condor, Thomas Cook

Inter-terminal transit is free but takes time

The shuttle between NT and ST runs 24 hours and takes 2 minutes, but the total transfer — walking, waiting, walking again — is closer to 10–15 minutes. When booking, give us your terminal and we'll go directly there.
