Gatwick usually puts the gate on the departure screens about 40 minutes before take-off. Until then, wait in the departure lounge.
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.
It depends on the airline, so check before you set off. A free shuttle train links the two terminals and takes a few minutes.
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.
