gatwick airport parking uk

Gatwick Airport is the second largest airport in the UK, operating international flights to around 240 short haul and long haul destinations. The airport has two terminals - North and South – and both terminals offer excellent facilities for passengers, particularly for those who enjoy some pre-flight shopping as part of their airport experience.

South Terminal – This is the main terminal and handles most of Gatwick's passengers serving domestic, international and charter flights.

North Terminal – Primarily used for scheduled flights and airlines such as British Airways, GB Airways, First Choice, Delta Air Lines and Emirates. If you need to transfer between the terminals, the airport runs a free automatic train which runs every three minutes with a journey time of just two minutes.

The airport is located 28 miles south of London and has convenient road links and rail link connecting the airport to the rest of the UK. There are around 900 rail services a day to and from the airport as well as coach services which link over 400 towns to the airport.

Pre-booking your parking is absolutely vital at Gatwick. You are ensured a parking place in the car park of your choice, either ON or OFF the airport compound, and pay less than if you just turn up on the day you fly without a booking.

After negotiating check in and security, treat yourself to the comfort of an airport lounge. You can pre-book yourself a space in an airport lounge that will allow you to sit back and enjoy complimentary: tea, coffee, soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, snacks, magazines and newspapers. Flight information is also available so you can relax, work, have a drink or just catch up with the news until your flight departure.

Airport Lounges are available at most UK airports. Each lounge is designed to provide a relaxing environment where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the airport crowds and either relax or work.

For security reasons if you need to leave the lounge, you will be required to take any luggage with you even if you wish to return. Airport lounges are generally located after Passport Control and may not be suitable for passengers on domestic flights, see any special terms when booking.
