Arriving at Gatwick Airport
There are two passport control areas for LGW Arrivals. One is for the European Union (EU), European Economic Area (EEA), British nationals and Swiss nationals, whilst the other is for all other nationalities. If you fall under the latter, we recommend checking visa and immigration advice before your flight.
Once you’ve made your way through Gatwick Airport passport control, follow the signs to baggage claim and pick up any luggage you checked in. From there, all you have to do is head through customs and exit into the Arrivals Hall. Remember to check customs regulations for entering the UK before travelling.
Gatwick Airport Transport
Both terminals have signposted exits to various public transportation options including trains and buses. Likewise, airport taxis and private transfer vehicles are located directly outside both terminals.
*There is also a free shuttle service connecting the two terminals in under 2 minutes.

Gatwick Airport Arrivals Parking
It is not possible to park and wait in front of the North or South terminals, so if you’re driving to Gatwick Airport to pick up a friend or family member, there are two Gatwick Airport Arrivals parking options:
The Express Pick Up area in the Short Stay car park or the Long-Stay car parks (both terminals). Express pick-up is a 5-minute walk to the terminals and pre-booking isn’t required, whereas the Long Stay car park is a 10-minute shuttle from the terminals and parking is free for the first 2 hours.
FAQ
How long to get through Arrivals at Gatwick Airport?
It typically takes around 1 hour to get through Arrivals at Gatwick Airport, which includes picking up your baggage and clearing customs. However, during school holidays and peak periods (07:00 to 10:00 and 17:00-20:00), the airport can get very crowded. So expect longer waiting times for passport control and baggage claim.
