Drop-off and pick-up

Where we leave you, and where we meet you when you come home.

Going out

Drop-off

Gatwick has a North and a South Terminal, linked by a free shuttle train. easyJet and many long-haul airlines use the North Terminal, and British Airways, Jet2 and Wizz Air the South. TUI uses both, so we check your flight number and drop you at the right one.

Coming home

Pick-up

Coming home through Gatwick, you message us once you have your luggage and we meet you at the express pick-up point for your terminal. We don't meet you inside the terminal.

Live flight tracking

Flights tracked, pick-ups timed

We track every flight live with the Flighty app, so we see delays, gate changes and landing times and adjust your pick-up.

Most airlines suggest arriving 3 hours before a long-haul flight. For a 10:00am departure from Gatwick Airport, we would usually collect you from Southport at about 1:25am. That allows around 4 hr 50 min for the drive plus a margin for overnight roadworks. We confirm the exact time when you book. On a run this long we can stop at a motorway services on the way if you would like a break.
