Dr G, I have a flight out of Gatwick in a few weeks. Due to stupid o'clock, can't be arsed with buses/xfers, nor will I allow anyone else to park my car.

Is Short Stay my only option?  I think its South Term (Monarch).

Two options, text me the dates and leave your car here (provided of course the timings/shifts allow ), or park in the South Terminal long stay.

That's the official car park, not a dodgy fly by night set up :y

Long stay means bus? Not doing buses, even 5 minutes ones, for undisclosed reasons.

Yup. And you'll always be in zone Z - and the drop off bus starts at A.

The short stay looks to be £50 more than long stay. IMHO, that's £50 well spent not to have to use those bloody transfer buses.

Lol, originally conceived as a two runway, two terminal airport, but both Harlow and Chelmsford said no... Regional airport with significant freight hub is it's lot. ;)

Stemo can remember being based there in the 1950's when it had 3 runways.

Can't have my old mum dragging cases too far, which limits the definition of walkable.

Gatwick North...

In car park at 1140,
2 minute wait for bus,
5 minutes on bus,
7 minutes to check in including wait for lift,
10 minute queue to check in,
7 minutes through security...

So a smidge over 30 mins... Not bad for a Saturday lunch time ;)

Spot of shopping, lunch and a couple of pints and a relaxing pause before the fun at the gate...

Pub... £3.70 a pint.


Walk 50ft in a straight line...


Get to gate,  show picture of id, and number 3 to board...

Working here has its perks... :D
