PostHeaderIcon How long does it take to travel between the south and north terminal at Gatwick?

We are travelling with Easy Jet from the North terminal and returning with Thomas Cook to the South terminal. As our flight home is early hours we thought it would be easier to park at south terminal and travel across to North. How easy is this? and How long does it take? Any tips/where we get the train etc would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

we go gatwick alot and you could run and it would not take that long, however of you tell the airport they migth gove you a lift in a car/ truck around the airport.

PostHeaderIcon Why is Gatwick Short Stay Car Park so expensive?

I want to pick my boyfriend up from Gatwick on Fri/Sat morning. I put in the times (arrive at 11pm - leave at 1am) on the Gatwick Car Park Pre Booking website and it says it will cost £20 for Short Stay, but only £8.70 for Long.

I dont want to stay in the Long as its further from the airport but i cant believe Short stay would be £10 an hour? Does anyone know what the rate is if you just go in there on the evening rather than pre-book?

Why do you want to be there for two hours? If you know the flight number, you can find the expected arrival time, before you start your journey, by going to the Gatwick Airport website & clicking on to Flight arrivals. This is something I do quite often, and I time it so that I arrive about 45 minutes after landing. By pre-arrangement with whoever I’m meeting, I pick them up from the short term car park and the fee, providing I’m no longer than 15 minutes, is £1.00p.
At South terminal the car park to pick up from is the short stay park 3 (orange). When meeting someone from North terminal, at an early hour of the morning recently, I actually picked them up from where I dropped them off at departures. There was no one around telling me to move on, so I avoided a parking fee altogether.
Presumably both you and your boyfriend will have mobile phones, so you should be able to arrange it quite easily, so that it costs you no more than a £1.00p.

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 can i just park my car at gatwick north terminal?

or do I have to book?
you can book for short term parking and its all sold out! Can i just arrive and park?
i am not interested in how much cheaper it is, i am only interested in whether there is availability if I just turn up. thanks.

Parking at Gatwick is much, much cheaper if you book it in advance. We always park at one of the off-site car parks where they bus you to your terminal. Purple Parking is the one we have used for years - very good service with no problems and a reasonable price.

Have a good trip.

PostHeaderIcon Where is the cheapest place to park near Gatwick Airport?

Best quotes I’ve found so far is BCP car parks, outside airport for on-airport for £32.30, and 10 mins from airport for £27.48. Isn’t there anywhere cheaper?

Our plane leaves from the North Terminal, 4 passengers.

We hope to drop off the car at 10:30 on Sunday 29th June 2008, and pick up around 14:00 on Wednesday 2nd July.

Thanks in advance for any help!

For the dates you have posted, Airparks come out at £24.50p. I used them in May, and found them very efficient & that was at 0430hrs!!. Their coaches leave every 15 mins, dropping off at North terminal first.
Just put the detail in the link below and a list of prices for available car parks will appear.
