Staying at the other terminal?

Connected, in-terminal or nearby?
Terminal-connected hotels
Compare the pedestrian link to the terminal your flight uses. Check the actual directions and route with luggage, a pushchair or mobility equipment.
An in-terminal stay
Check the exact level, entrance and whether the hotel is landside or airside. Bloc is landside in South Terminal; confirm this fits your journey before booking.
A nearby hotel
Add transport cost, waiting time and the walk at either end to your comparison. Check the route for the time you will actually travel.
The opposite terminal
A hotel at the other terminal can still suit your trip. Allow for the shuttle and the full route to check-in rather than treating the shuttle ride as the whole transfer.
Fit the stay around the flight
What kind of Gatwick stop do you need?
| Your plans | Prioritise | Confirm before paying |
|---|---|---|
| Early flight | A dependable route to the correct terminal. | Breakfast availability, check-out arrangements and your airline’s arrival guidance. |
| Late arrival | A suitable check-in process and a workable journey. | Latest arrival instructions and what to do if the flight is delayed. |
| Family trip | The right beds and a manageable route with bags. | Children’s ages, cots, sofa beds and any confirmed connecting-room arrangement. |
| Daytime rest | A booking that covers the hours you need. | Day-use or early check-in availability; a normal overnight rate may not permit morning access. |
| Hotel & parking | A package covering your full trip and terminal route. | Parking location, covered dates, vehicle conditions and any separate car-park transfer. |
