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.

What is the best way to travel from Hyde Park area to Gatwick?
traveling with my 2 teenagers, and we are WAY over-budget!
Get a bus from Hyde Park to Victoria and then train to Gatwick. That is the easiest way. You do not need to use the Gatwick Express, other trains stop at Gatwick too and are cheaper.

What is the least expensive way to get from Heathrow to the Belsize Park tube station and how would I go?
There will be 2 adults with luggage (one bag and one carry on each) arriving at noon on a Saturday. Thanks so much for your help!
The cheapest way would be to take the tube (London Underground). You can get this direct from the airport terminal and travel on the Piccadilly line to Leicester Square, then change to the Northern line to Belsize Park. The journey would probably take up to a couple of hours allowing for changes.
The cost (maximum £4.00 per person) is a lot less than other options such as Heathrow Express or taxi, but you’d have to carry your luggage around, possibly up some stairs or escalators, and on a Saturday the tube is likely to be pretty crowded.
But it’s definitely the cheapest way and I’ve taken luggage on the tube in this way before, I’d rather save the money to enjoy myself at my destination!
Airport Parking – The Hotel Alternative
If you are someone who usually parks their car at the hotel car parking, you should know that there is a better alternative available to you. The alternative is parking in the airport parking instead of parking far away.
You can pre-book the parking by going online and confirming and paying for it via the internet. All you need to do is print out your parking ticket when you come to the airport. If you are able to find a cheaper airport parking, you will either get a refund or the price will be matched. You can even book your parking spot on the day of travel.
You can even find parking spots in parking lots near the airport, and they are cheaper than the ones at the airport and are just as convenient. Sometimes these can be up to fifty percent cheaper. There is no need to worry that you will have to get yourself from the terminal to the parking lot, since there is also the option of getting a transfer bus from the terminal to the parking facility.
In the UK, the best parking areas are at the big airports like Heathrow and Gatwick. All of these offer many services, including security. Most of these airports have secured parking areas which have a round the clock security team as well as fences to protect the cars from theft. They also have cameras monitoring the entire area.
Another great thing about Airport parking is that everything is organized through technology. Instead of having to rely on manual counting to figure out how many spaces are available and when new ones will be opening up, the computer will now calculate all this in a blink of an eye, and thus always make sure the parking lot is utilized in the best possible way.
An additional advantage that most UK airports offer is valet services for your parking. You can have your car parked when you arrive by an airport valet, and when you come back that car will be brought to you at the gate. This give you two advantages, one-it reduces the hassle you have to go through to find parking, secondly-it enables the airport valets to best optimize the space in the car park and safely return you your car.
Airport parking is also convenient as you have the luxury of having your bags dropped off and picked up from the terminal gates instead of having to lug them through various transfer buses to any other parking lot. This is especially useful if you have kids or older people with you who cannot walk that much.
Airport parking is thus a better alternative when it comes to parking your car while you are out of the country or city. It offers many benefits over hotel parking such as valet parking, security, convenience, and ease of use, and not to mention the ability to book the parking spot online prior to your arrival. Therefore, if you are someone who usually parks in the hotel but is looking for an alternative, then the airport is one great option for you.
