denglish's Review of Gatwick Airport
24th Apr 2006
Overall Rating
- Value for money
- Transport linksAverage
- Eating facilitiesAverage
- Overall cleanliness
- Date of use (month/year)February 2006
- Range of shopsExcellent
- Customer service
The airport has its own railway connection, and it is close to the M23.
The airport is well served by most airlines and destinations, including many budget companies.
Bad Points
The rail service is infrequent outside 9 - 5pm.
The toilets are poorly ventilated, and they are smelly, and are only basically cleaned.
The owner (BAA) seems to give priority to shopping, and often basic infrastructure, i.e. walkways, lifts and the small shuttle are out of order!
General Comments
Once upon a time, Gatwick Airport was modern. Now it is looking very tired and dated. Most European capitals have modern airports, but at this airport there are only the shops and bland sandwich bars that are up-to-date. The arrivals/baggage collection area is antiquated and due for a makeover. The car parking is very expensive, and you should always factor this in to any air fare, as it may cost more than the flight!
