Gatwick is abandoning its classic image of the airport and tourist charter flights for its new trend of large international airport with vocation growing business. Its internal structure is perfectly planned to move quickly, something that contrasts with its high rate of impuntualidad on flights, the largest in the country. It is the second largest airport of the country and seventh in the world with over 30 million passengers per year. Although it is located 45 km south of London has excellent road and rail connections with the city. It has two terminals, north and south, linked by a monorail and excellent with the following configuration: North: British Airways, Aer Lingus, Air France, Delta Air Lines and Iberia flights plus among others. Some charter flights also use this terminal. South: Supports the largest flow of traffic at the airport, with domestic flights, international and charter By taxi You'll find the famous "cabs" upon leaving the arrivals terminal. At the centre of London takes just over an hour's journey fares and not lose the 65 pounds. It previously talking with the driver to establish an approximate budget and avoid surprises upon arrival. By Train Gatwick has a train station itself with various destinations. Located in the south terminal. If you arrive in the North Terminal will need to catch a train that takes you free internal to the south and then follow the instructions. It really is all very well marked and it is impossible to miss. On top of the platform there is a large room with screens with all the schedules of trains, several lockers and several ticket vending machines. We recommend the latter because they are very easy to use (they are in Spanish) and tails you save. The train ideal for connecting London with the airport is the Gatwick Express. It is also the quickest means. It has an extensive schedule of 04:35 to 01:35. Take in the south terminal and from anywhere in the airport is easy to find as directed. From 6 am to 8 pm trains depart every 15 minutes, and every 30 outside those hours. The journey takes about half an hour and does not engage paradss to Victoria Station.

It leaves every half hour and takes to reach the final 40 minutes. The trip costs 10 pounds. It's cheaper than you and Gatwick Express brings you the same centre. Trains are a bit old. The company operates South Central Trains every 15 minutes from Gatwick to Victoria. From 1 to 4 in the morning operates every hour. It takes 45 minutes and costs 8 pounds. It is slower than the Gatwick Express, but cheaper. These trains are used mainly by workers who travel daily to London from the south so that during peak hours can be a little mass. Besides trains are not as prepared for the luggage as the Gatwick Express. Other trains are practical First Capital Connect (FCC). They are appropriate for people who go to areas north and east of the city since stop at London Bridge, Blackfriars and King's Cross. Ultimately, we recommend the Gatwick Express in speed and comfort while saving the ideal is to take any of the alternatives that in the end arrive at the same site.
