FLIGHT CANCELLED

Your rights under UK rules

Refund or another flight: your choice. The airline should also look after you until you travel: food and drink, a way to make two calls or send emails, and a hotel with transport if you're stuck overnight.
You may be due £110 to £520 per person if you were told less than 14 days before, unless the cause was outside the airline's control. The amount depends on the distance and the replacement flight's times.

These rules cover every flight leaving the UK, on any airline. Compensation isn't automatic: claim from the airline. It isn't due when the cause was outside the airline's control, such as extreme weather or air traffic control strikes. Our times are estimates until the flight lands.

Good to know

When is the gate shown?

Gatwick usually puts the gate on the departure screens about 40 minutes before take-off. Until then, wait in the departure lounge.

How early should I get to the airport?

Two hours before a short-haul flight is a safe rule, and three for long-haul. Your airline's bag drop closing time is the real deadline, so check it on your booking.

North or South Terminal?

It depends on the airline, so check before you set off. A free shuttle train links the two terminals and takes a few minutes.

How up to date is this?

We update Gatwick's flights regularly through the day, and the page refreshes itself while it's open. Times can change quickly, so always check with your airline too.
