Gatwick Airport

Better than Birmingham Airport

We did another meet and greet and it worked perfectly. You literally drive through the passenger drop off, the bit you have to pay £5 to stop and drop off your passenger. You go to the last section on the left and your valet person is there waiting for you to take your car, you pick up in exactly the same place. Very smooth and the company I used was Meteor meet and greet through Holiday Extras. The service was smooth, perfect in fact and the most competitively priced for this level of service.

I like it because you are straight into the terminal.

Gatwick is a bit gloomy from this perspective, certainly not as impressive architecturally as a Denver Airport or Atlanta Airport in the US but once inside things ran smoothly.

The things I noticed, Boohoo must have paid a fortune to be blazen across every digital advertising screen in the place or so it seemed.

The security was smooth, the queues moved fast, the staff were efficient (I had no flying privileges upgrades or club access) and I got into duty free in a flash.

I usually eat in one of the restaurants, not this time. I did look at the shops in the mood to buy something. The stock was low, a couple of things I asked about in Max Mara in the Harrods store weren’t available and the staff in there had about as much go as a reliant robin.

Books, magazines and gadgets though they’ve definitely got you covered however thinking about a last minute bikini, flip flops essentials I’d recommend not leaving it to the last minute, prices high and choices very limited.

Compared to other airports around the world functional but not brilliant.
