๐ข Terminal Information
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 10โ15 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.
Security screening is centrally located in each terminal with family and Fast Track lanes; typical waits are 5โ15 minutes off-peak and 20โ30 minutes in early morning peaks. Arriving passengers connecting to another terminal must exit, ride the shuttle, and clear security again.
UK 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.
Amenities are strong in both terminals: North hosts No1 Lounge, Clubrooms and an Emirates lounge plus restaurants like Jamie Oliverโs 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, Nandoโs and The Grain Store. Both terminals feature large World Duty Free stores, WHSmith/Boots, currency services and showers in select lounges.
Accessibility 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, kidsโ play zones near select gates (notably in North Terminal), baby-changing rooms adjacent to most restrooms, and child-friendly menus at many eateries.
๐ Connection Tips
Allow time for the shuttle if changing terminals. Security reโscreening is required when moving terminals.

๐ข Terminal Information
Bembridge Airport (BBP) serves the village of Bembridge on the Isle of Wight, UK. This public-use general aviation airport primarily supports private aircraft, flight training, and flying clubs, providing essential air access to the island for recreational pilots and visitors. It does not host scheduled commercial passenger services; commercial travelers typically utilize larger airports on the mainland, such as Southampton (SOU) or London Gatwick (LGW), for their connections. The airport facilities are basic, featuring a single grass runway (with an asphalt portion) and a small building that serves as an administrative office and a welcoming area for pilots and visitors.\n\nOperational procedures at BBP are strictly general aviation and follow standard uncontrolled airfield procedures. There is no air traffic control tower, and pilots communicate on a Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) to coordinate their movements. Consequently, there are no security checkpoints, baggage handling systems, or traditional boarding gates. Pilots and passengers access their aircraft directly. The airport operates under visual flight rules (VFR) and is a popular destination for cross-channel flights from mainland Europe, with customs facilities available on prior notice.\n\nAmenities at Bembridge Airport are limited but cater to the needs of its general aviation users. There is a small cafรฉ, often referred to as a 'pilot's cafรฉ,' offering refreshments and light meals, serving as a social hub for the flying community. A pilot lounge and restrooms are also available. While there are no extensive retail shops, the charming village of Bembridge is just a short walk or drive away, offering various dining and accommodation options. The airport serves as a convenient and accessible option for general aviation, supporting local tourism and the island's aviation enthusiasts.
