PostHeaderIcon Where is the best place to WAIT to pick up a passenger from London Gatwick Airport?

Hello, where can a wait to pick up a passenger from LGW - North terminal I believe. I know airports have parking restrictions so all advice gladly received. Ta
Greenric, that’s fantastic. Can you tell me what road the McDonalds is on?

The short term car park, or if you are in contact by phone with the passengers, then wait at the Mcdonalds which is 3 minutes away.Then drive to the ‘pick up/set down’ zone when they are out of the terminal.

The Mcdonalds is on the Ring Road North - there is also a BP garage right next to it.

PostHeaderIcon How easy is it to pick someone up from terminal 5 at heathrow airport?

I want to pick a friend up from the airport at T5, is there parking? and is it signposted? I want to meet them at the arrivals gates.

Heathrow is worse then Boston during the construction, or New york anytime.

At most airports its easier for a person coming in to get around the airport then a driver getting around. And with most airports there is one terminal that is the easiest. There are trains, or buses that take people from terminal to terminal, or parking lots. The best way is to park, and go to the baggage claim and meet your friend. Since 9/11, no one can go to the gate anymore unless they have a ticket. It may take a good hour but it is the easiest way.

PostHeaderIcon 5 Tips For Easy Air Travel

There’s no denying that it has become more and more difficult to fly without running into snags or problems with the airport or the airlines. Enduring the line at the security check point in some airports is enough to put some passengers in a bad mood. However, despite all of the inconveniences that come with flying, it is a necessity. There are several things that can be done to make flying easier and more hassle free, and all that is involved is a little bit of common sense and planning.

1. Get to the Airport Early
Arriving at the airport early is a no-brainer, especially when the airlines tell passengers to arrive at least two hours prior to a flight’s departure time. However, there are many people who refuse to heed this request, and arrive at the airport just several minutes before a flight is scheduled to leave. If there is a line at the check-in counter or at security, this can create a very stressful situation. Not only may the flight be missed, but a new flight must be booked, and the passengers will probably have to travel stand-by on a later flight with no guarantee of a seat until the very last minute.

2. Take a Morning Flight.
Leaving on an early flight does not necessarily mean a 4 a.m. flight must be chosen. However, flights that leave first thing in the morning are less likely to be running late, and they are less likely to be affected by weather problems across the country and/or other planes that may be delayed at other airports. Also, if for some reason the first flight of the day is canceled or delayed, there will probably be several other flights throughout the day that, if necessary, can be taken instead.

3. Try Not to Fly During “Rush Hour”
Airports, like highways, have rush hours. Typically, rush hour in the morning is from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., and in the afternoon from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. These are the hours when airports are the most crowded with people waiting for flights. Crowds mean longer lines at the security check points, more people in the restrooms, more people waiting in restaurant lines, and more people taking up seats in the waiting areas. Flying at a NON-rush hour time of day can alleviate the need to stand in lines and sit with crowds.

4. Try to Take Non-Stop Flights
Obviously, when a non-stop flight is taken, there is less risk of being delayed. Taking off and landing both take quite a bit of time, so avoiding having to do this twice is recommended. There will always be destinations when a non-stop flight is not available, but there are plenty of cities where non-stop flights are just as common as those that stop. It may even be worth a few extra dollars to book a non-stop flight to avoid an unneeded hassle and the possibility of being delayed.

5. Book Connections with Enough Time
If a non-stop flight is not available to a desired destination, make sure to schedule enough time in between flights. When airlines book flights, they often have a layover requirement of 30 or 45 minutes between connections. However, this is often not enough time if the original flight arrives late. In order to avoid this stress, try to schedule connecting flights with at least an hour to spare between the arrival time of the first flight and the departure time of the connecting flight.
