Terminal Information – Departing

This is only a guideline. Always check your boarding pass for up-to-date terminal information.

From Gatwick: British Airways flights depart from the north terminal while Thomas Cook Airlines fly from the south terminal. Both terminals at Gatwick have a massive range of places to eat and shop. The north terminal has three executive lounges, and the south terminal has one. They're available to passengers on all airlines, regardless of ticket price, as long as you're willing to pay on the door. Prices vary, but tend to be around the £20-25 mark. Give yourself plenty of time to reach your gate: the airport absolutely sprawls.

From Stansted: Stansted Airport only has one terminal. There are plenty of places to grab a bite to eat, ranging from burgers and salads to sushi and hearty British cuisine. You can raise a glass to your holiday at the Halo fizz bar, or escape the hustle and bustle by checking into the business lounge. Shops include World Duty Free, The Body Shop, Hamley's and WH Smith.
