More About Gatwick
Home to London's second largest airport, Gatwick is one of the major gateways into London. As with any airport journey, with a bit of planning you will be able to reach your destination with minimum stress.
The Origins of Gatwick Airport
The airport obtained its first licence in 1930, with the first scheduled flight to Paris coming six years later. During the Second World War, the airport was used by the RAF, and from 1956 to 1958 it was extensively renovated into a viable commercial alternative to the busier London Heathrow. Since then, it has gradually expanded to become the 28th busiest airport in the world, which means there are plenty of rooms available in the range of Gatwick hotels and guesthouses nearby.
Gatwick Airport Destinations
The airport is served by over 90 travel companies, and caters for around 33 million passengers each year. It serves 216 destinations worldwide, including popular European holiday spots such as Malaga, Dublin, Geneva and Paris. Further afield, Gatwick also serves Dubai, Toronto, Marrakech and Kuala Lumpur, while there are also domestic flights to northern cities such as Manchester, Newcastle and Aberdeen.
Getting to and from Gatwick Airport
As with most airports, Gatwick is located well outside the city boundary, but this is not an issue as there is a regular Gatwick Express rail service to and from Victoria, as well as many convenient Gatwick hotels to serve as a base. If you are looking for a quick getaway into London, you will be pleased to know that the trains from Gatwick to London run every fifteen minutes at peak times, with a journey time of half an hour. The last train leaves at 1:35am, and the station is clearly signposted throughout all terminals.
If you need to get from Victoria to the airport, trains run equally frequently, although in this direction the last train is at half past midnight. Tickets start at £15.95 for an adult anytime single journey, with anytime returns costing £27.40. These prices are based on booking online, which is 10% cheaper than booking at the station.
Checking in at Gatwick Airport
When it comes to checking in, nobody wants to be the latecomer who delays take off. Once again, the airport has detailed guidelines regarding when to check in, although it is recommended that you check in online before arrival at the airport to save time.
As with any airport, it is very important to remember not to pack any of the restricted items that will get you into bother with airport security. The airport has clear rules regarding what you can and cannot bring onto the plane, and this includes lists of items that cannot be taken on as hand luggage and items that are banned altogether.
