Location insights
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.
Departures and check-in fill in the early-morning and late-afternoon banks. Book those hours and your frequency against business travelers climbs for the same budget.
Lounge and the gate holdrooms hold seated, relaxed travelers for 60–90 minutes, long windows where dwell, not rush, does the work.
Arrivals fills as long-haul flights land in banks, high-value international passengers with time to read. Swap creative to match who just arrived.
Location intelligence summary
Gatwick, London doesn't have a rush hour; it has flight banks. Departures peak in the morning, long-haul arrivals land in waves, and between them travelers dwell for 60–90 minutes with phones often stowed. The buying model that matches that is hourly: pay for the banks when your audience is captive, skip the dead hours.

The zones above already draw a specific buyer: easyJet's short-haul network moving through Departures and Transit, since Gatwick is easyJet's largest base worldwide, home to around 70 aircraft and more than a third of the airport's total seat capacity, and TUI Airways' long-haul holiday charter travelers dwelling in Lounge and Arrivals, since Gatwick is TUI's UK hub for long-haul leisure routes to the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and Latin America.

Four things move the price on any Gatwick, London (LGW) screen: the format (pricing runs higher on departure-lounge spectacular than on welcome arch & departures LED), the zone (Departures & welcome arch carries the highest footfall premium), the daypart (peak commute and evening hours price above the overnight lull), and how far in advance you book, since the busiest zones and formats sell out first.
What a campaign costs
Because you pay per play and schedule by the hour, your budget buys the exposure you actually need, not filler plays, so it works as hard on a big campaign as on a small one, with no minimum. Here's what budgets realistically buy. Live numbers per screen are in the platform.
Concourse test
One terminal's departure lounge across a morning easyJet bank
Multi-zone airport push

FAQ
No. Blindspot books time on screens that are already installed and permitted by their media-owner operators, so you're leasing airtime on airport-authorized screens, not erecting a new structure.
Gatwick, London handled 43.2 million passengers in 2024. The audience is the reason to buy it: air passengers are captive, comparatively affluent, and hard to reach through most channels, and they spend meaningful time in the terminal with attention to spare between check-in and boarding. Dwell is the asset. Unlike a roadside screen read in two seconds, a gate or arrivals placement gets minutes rather than moments, which is why airport placements hold up for brand and considered-purchase messages rather than short reminders. Gatwick is unique among London's airports in representing all three main airline business models: full service, low-cost and charter. British Airways hub here, which concentrates connecting traffic through the same core. It is served by Gatwick Express, so the same audience continues landside.
Gatwick, London zones are scored separately for visibility, dwell time and footfall, because the best placement depends on which of those you actually need. Departures & welcome arch guarantees exposure to essentially every departing passenger. Security & checkpoint holds attention through a queue, where dwell is involuntary and long. International Departure Lounge gives the longest relaxed attention, with passengers seated and waiting. Each zone shows its own per-play price and live availability, so you can pair a high-reach zone with a high-dwell one rather than guessing at a single best spot. Arrivals & baggage reclaim catches a recently landed audience with phones back out. Lounges & duty-free reaches a higher-spend traveler before the flight. The terminal layout shapes all of this: Gatwick Airport has two terminals, North Terminal and South Terminal, connected by an elevated automated people mover.
Yes. On Blindspot every Gatwick, London screen is bookable by the hour with no minimum, so you can buy only the morning departures bank or the long-haul arrivals windows that match your audience.
The airport's media is run by its official terminal advertising partner; Blindspot aggregates the bookable digital screens onto one map, priced per play.
Often within hours: upload, pass creative pre-check, and digital screens need no printing or installation. Approval typically averages around two business days across networks.
More than the usual airport rate card suggests, because you are buying plays rather than a fixed package. In Gatwick, London a $500 budget typically funds a multi-day hourly presence across a high-dwell zone such as International Departure Lounge, or a concentrated burst on Departures & welcome arch and Security & checkpoint through the busiest departure banks only. At entry plays around $0.50, the arithmetic is visible before you commit. It will not buy a month of an arrivals-hall spectacular, and that is the trade: hourly, per-play buying lets a small budget own the specific windows when the passengers you want are actually in the terminal, instead of thinning the same money across empty overnight hours.
