One of the most common causes of travel stress is arriving at the wrong terminal or not knowing where to meet your driver. With Gatwick handling over 40 million passengers a year, being in the right place at the right time is essential.
At DM Airport Transfers, we want your journey to be as smooth as possible. Here is our simple guide to navigating the two terminals at London Gatwick in 2026.
Which Terminal is Mine?
Gatwick’s airlines are split between the North and South Terminals. While most airlines stick to one, some—like easyJet and TUI—operate from both depending on the destination.
| Terminal | Major Airlines (2026) |
| North Terminal | Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, WestJet, Icelandair, Royal Air Maroc, and select easyJet flights. |
| South Terminal | British Airways, Jet2, Air France, Ryanair, Norwegian, Vueling, TAP Portugal, and select TUI flights. |
Top Tip: Always check your boarding pass or the Gatwick live flight board 24 hours before you travel. If you give us your flight number when booking, our drivers will automatically track which terminal you are landing at.
Meeting Your DM Airport Transfers Driver
We offer a professional “Meet and Greet” service to ensure you aren’t wandering around the car parks with heavy luggage.
North Terminal Meeting Point
Once you have cleared customs and entered the Arrivals Hall, look for the Costa Coffee. Your driver will be waiting nearby with a clear name board. If you have opted for a “curbside” pickup, we usually direct passengers to the Short Stay Car Park 6, Level 4.
South Terminal Meeting Point
In the South Terminal, our drivers typically wait in the Arrivals area near the Costa Coffee (located right by the arrival gates). For express pickups, we use Short Stay Car Park 3, which is just a short walk from the main terminal doors.
Stuck at the Wrong Terminal?
Don’t panic. Gatwick has a highly efficient Inter-Terminal Shuttle.
- Frequency: Every few minutes, 24 hours a day.
- Travel Time: Just 2 minutes.
- Cost: Completely free.
The shuttle stations are located right next to the train station in the South Terminal and on the first floor of the North Terminal.
Why Accuracy Matters
Providing the correct flight number is the best way to ensure a seamless pickup. It allows your DM Airport Transfers driver to:
- Verify the Terminal: We confirm if your airline has made any last-minute gate changes.
- Monitor Delays: If your flight is held up, we wait for you at no extra cost for the first hour after landing.
- Coordinate Perfectly: We time our arrival at the terminal to match your exit from baggage reclaim.
