Which terminal at London Gatwick Airport?

The short answer: Check your ticket first. Emirates says it uses the North Terminal, and sources say easyJet does too. Sources put British Airways and many European airlines at the South Terminal. A free train joins the two, so a hotel at the other terminal is a few minutes away, not a taxi ride.

Last checked · How we check

Gatwick has two terminals, North and South. Airlines are split between them, and the split has changed over the years, so older guides are unreliable. Check your ticket or your airline's page.

What we could confirm

Emirates says its flights use the North Terminal. Travel-guide sources say easyJet moved all of its flights to the North Terminal in 2026. We could not read Gatwick's own airline page, so we have not listed other airlines.

What it means for a hotel

  • North Terminal: Sofitel and Hampton by Hilton are connected, and Premier Inn is opposite the main entrance.
  • South Terminal: Bloc and YOTELAIR are inside the building. Hilton is beside it and Courtyard by Marriott is a short walk away.

The railway station

The station is in the South Terminal. If you fly from the North Terminal and arrive by train, take the free shuttle train across first.
