  "connection_tips": "Connecting through London Gatwick Airport (LGW) requires an understanding of its two distinct terminal buildings, North and South, which are linked by a free automated shuttle train. However, for inter-terminal transfers or international-to-domestic connections, a minimum of 90 minutes is recommended, while 2.5 to 3 hours is safer during peak morning and afternoon periods. \n\nIf your journey is on a single ticket, your checked baggage is typically transferred automatically. Ground transportation to central London is most efficiently handled by the Gatwick Express (30 minutes to Victoria) or Thameslink (connecting to London Bridge and St Pancras). Be aware that the UK enforces strict 100ml liquid regulations at security checkpoints, and all transit passengers must undergo a security screening even if staying airside.\n\nThe shuttle runs 24/7, every few minutes, and the journey takes only two minutes platform-to-platform. However, for self-transfers on separate tickets\u2014common at Gatwick due to its high volume of low-cost carriers\u2014you must clear immigration, collect your baggage, and move between terminals landside before re-checking your bags and re-clearing security. Both services accept contactless payment and Oyster cards for convenience.\n\nFor domestic-to-domestic or intra-UK connections within the same terminal, a window of 60 minutes is typically sufficient. The Gatwick Airport railway station is located directly inside the South Terminal; if you arrive at the North Terminal, you must take the shuttle to reach the trains. Helpful amenities include free 90-minute Wi-Fi, numerous charging stations, and a wide selection of premium lounges accessible via day passes.",

  "terminal_info": "Gatwick has two terminals (North and South) linked by a free automated shuttle that runs every few minutes and takes around 2 minutes platform to platform; allow 10\u201315 minutes total when moving between terminals and re-clearing security. Within each terminal, pier gates are reached via long concourses with travelators, and most UK/European flights depart from South Terminal while many long-haul and easyJet operations use North. Rail and coach stations sit landside at South Terminal, with covered walkways to check-in.\n\nSecurity screening is centrally located in each terminal with family and Fast Track lanes; typical waits are 5\u201315 minutes off-peak and 20\u201330 minutes in early morning peaks. Arriving passengers connecting to another terminal must exit, ride the shuttle, and clear security again.\n\nUK Border Force desks and eGates handle immigration in both terminals; customs exits follow immediately after baggage reclaim with red/green channels. International transfer passengers without UK entry clearance generally must enter the UK and re-check, as airside transfers are limited.\n\nAmenities are strong in both terminals: North hosts No1 Lounge, Clubrooms and an Emirates lounge plus restaurants like Jamie Oliver\u2019s Diner, Pret and Shake Shack. South offers the No1 Lounge, Clubrooms, My Lounge, and the Concorde Room for eligible BA passengers, alongside dining such as Wagamama, Nando\u2019s and The Grain Store. Both terminals feature large World Duty Free stores, WHSmith/Boots, currency services and showers in select lounges.\n\nAccessibility is fully step-free with lifts, ramps and accessible restrooms throughout; Changing Places facilities sit landside in both terminals, and staffed Assistance Reception desks are near the concourses. Family amenities include dedicated family security lanes, kids\u2019 play zones near select gates (notably in North Terminal), baby-changing rooms adjacent to most restrooms, and child-friendly menus at many eateries.",
