Inside each terminal

Check-in, security, the station link and how to change terminals — verified against the airport's own pages.

North Terminal

Home to 23 airlines by the official list, including easyJet, Emirates, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines — and to TUI flights whose number starts with “TOM”. Three hotels (Sofitel, Hampton by Hilton and Premier Inn) stand steps from check-in.

From the train & tram station

The railway station is at the South Terminal: take the free inter-terminal shuttle — every few minutes, 24 hours a day — and you are there in two minutes.

Changing terminals

The shuttle to South Terminal is free, driverless and takes two minutes, running around the clock; luggage trolleys are allowed on board. A signed walking route between the terminals also exists.

Accessibility

Assisted Travel help points at the terminal entrances, bus stops and Short Stay car parks, with receptions at check-in, just before security and in the departure lounge. Book assistance through your airline at least 48 hours ahead.

South Terminal

The terminal with the longer airline list — 38 carriers including British Airways, Ryanair, Wizz Air, Norwegian and Vueling, plus TUI flights numbered “BY”. The railway station is part of the building, and the Bloc hotel’s reception sits directly opposite the security entrance.

From the train & tram station

The station is inside the terminal, about a five-minute walk from both departures and arrivals — four operators serve it, from the non-stop Gatwick Express to Thameslink and Southern.

Changing terminals

North Terminal is a free two-minute shuttle ride away, running every few minutes, 24 hours a day, with luggage allowed. The shuttle station is close to the railway station.
