Probably 1 of the best airports that I have used for years. Really good communication with train station 1 min linked to the south terminal, you would need the FREE 5 min shuttle to get to north terminal . Constant National buses stopping at south and north terminal. Also you have plenty of parking places , inside the airport and long stay parking with free bus. For departures in South Terminal , you would need to go to 1st floor, and use stairs/lift, the same with North Terminal. Make sure you bring your liquids max 100ml in a measure plastic bag for the security boarding as otherwise sometimes you would have to wait long time to be reviewed. They offer also special assistance by pressing the call button at the parking area.

The Gatwick Airport South Terminal was pretty good, nothing to complain about. Fairly easy to get to, large and not cramped, a good selection of stores and cafes/restaurants. The Duty Free section was pretty good too. If you are a smoker then it won't be your favourite, a part from the smoking area outside at the front of the terminal there are no other smoking areas, keep that in mind.

Airport departure, through check-in, security and the boarding gates was very good. The valet parking was good although finding the valet park entrance without Google maps would be difficult, the signposting was not great.
