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.
