Which terminal does Air China use at Gatwick?

Air China uses the North Terminal. From 28 Air China flights at Gatwick in the last 7 days: 28 North.

Where can I see my terminal?

Your airline usually shows it in your booking confirmation or app. The day you fly, it's also on our live flight pages and on the airport's screens.

What if I go to the wrong terminal?

A free shuttle train links the North and South terminals and the ride takes a few minutes. Allow extra time to get to it and wait for the next train, especially if your bag drop is about to close.

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.

Can an airline change terminal?

Yes. Airlines occasionally move between Gatwick's terminals, and a few flights can use the other one on the day. We update these pages from each day's flights and show it when an airline moves.
