*By Road*
London Gatwick is 28 miles (45kms) south of London and is directly linked to the M23 motorway at junction 9 and to the A23 London - Brighton road. Warning these roads have a lot of traffic ... ...other coach services stop at London Gatwick's coach station on the ground floor of South terminal. Principal services also call at North terminal. Passengers arriving at the South terminal, but require the North Terminal should take the transit train. It is worth remembering that services from most parts of Britain connect at Victoria Coach Station with the Airbus A5 to London Gatwick. This helps to reduce confusion in the main!

Advantages: Very well organised. Clean. Lots of places to buy last minute essentials. Disadvantages: Not the easiest to get to.
To be honest Gatwick airport is one that I try to avoid, not for any other reason than it is possibly the trickiest of the major UK airports for me to get to form the East Midlands where I live.
However, when I booked my flights for my recent trip to Canada, the best fare was via Gatwick, so I plumped for the bargain, and faced the reality that I would have to get to Gatwick. This was made worse by the fact that my flight was at midday, and with ... ...before any international flight, meant that I had to be there for around 9am. The M25 at that time in the morning as many of you will vouch for is horrific, and I did not look forward to the journey. In the end we left home at around 5 am, and got to Gatwick at 8.45 am, after stressing out whilst sat stationary on the M25, and generally having a very unpleasant journey indeed. Thanks go to Steve my husband for putting up with me moaning at him, and ...

Advantages: None, use another airport if you can Disadvantages: This airport is a nightmare.
Now I could blind you all with facts and figures about Gatwick but then you would all get bored and I am sure a lot of you already know how to get to Gatwick. However I noticed that there have been no reviews done on Gatwick since 2002. If you need all the facts figures and information then go to the website BAA. Com or Gatwick airport. com
I always find the best way to explain a place is by experience and although I may not have had the best experience ... ...much reflected my last visit which was last year. So it does not seem to have changed much and in my opinion has actually deteriorated and continues to do so on every successive visit I make. You can draw your own conclusions from the experience I am going to relate and as usual I have done it in my own ruthless way. I take no prisoners and make no excuses for this pathetic excuse for an airport and my explanation of it. Gatwick is the busiest single ...

Advantages: Good motorway access, reasonable parking and other facilities Disadvantages: They just cannot cope with above-average numbers of departing passengers
Gatwick Airport for me is a must to avoid. I last went through there a year ago and it was a disaster. I note that most of the Ciao reviews were written before the current security measures came into place, when they would have been justifyably more favourable.
I hope, but doubt, that it has changed much in the last year, I don't know, because I have taken to using alternative more local airports like Southampton and Bristol, where the staff are ... ...through Gatwick tomorrow, and if I was lucky to get the time of day right, I could sail through and wonder what all the fuss was about. My last experience put me in such a bad frame of mind from the outset of my holiday, that I won't take the risk if I can possibly avoid it.
However, that said,later in 2008 I am taking a flight from Gatwick to La Palma (a new service operated by Thompson Airlines, to one of the smaller Canary Islands started in ...

Advantages: Accessibility, Accomodation, Amenities Disadvantages: Not every airline features, quite high Airport Tax
...the UK's second largest airport, London Gatwick has the job of catering for the overflow from Heathrow and does it very well indeed. This is an outline of what Gatwick offers.
LOCATION/ACCESSIBILITY
The name London Gatwick is slightly misleading because it is not in London at all. It is in Crawley, West Sussex and just on the border of Surrey. The Gatwick Express train is a mere 30 minutes trip from London Victoria and there are also connections ... ...Bristol. Gatwick is off the M23 which connects to the M25 and is normally Ok for traffic. Parking is not too bad and is easy to get the monorail over to either terminal
ACCOMODATION
Gatwick, like most airports, provides accomodation just outside the main terminals, North and South. There is a range and the most popular is the Holiday Inn. The Ramada is also popular. If you do not fancy staying so close, take a 3 miute train trip to Crawley or Horley ...
