Where Gatwick, London moves

Gatwick is two terminals on one famously busy runway: the newer North Terminal is the easyJet base, while the South Terminal sits above the rail station that feeds Victoria and London Bridge. Mornings push the easyJet and short-haul European departures, the International Departure Lounge stays dense through midday, and long-haul and leisure banks fill the afternoon and evening. The inter-terminal shuttle and the Gatwick Express keep the flows moving. This is a high-volume leisure and point-to-point crowd. Buy the banks that match your audience, skip the dead hours.
