You need to avoid London Gatwick, unless you enjoyed that. Especially for departures: When the gate "closes" (~15min before departure) the last bus has gone and Bang! you've missed your flight. If remember, Gates 90-95 in the South Terminal and gate 45 in the North Terminal

Riding the elevated shuttle train between South & North Terminals at London Gatwick Airport. The mainline railway station is located underneath South Terminal with easy access to the shuttle to North. Ridden it so many times, always great fun and a good start to your holiday. ✈️
