The airport has two terminals – North and South. Emirates flights land and depart from the North Terminal. And if you're flying First Class or Business Class with us, you can look forward to relaxing in the Emirates Lounge before your flight. Gatwick Airport is easy to reach by car and rail.

No, Emirates operates exclusively from the North Terminal at London Gatwick (LGW). While Gatwick's South Terminal is the primary hub for the airport's rail station and many short-haul carriers, the North Terminal is the dedicated home for most "High-Fidelity" long-haul operations, including Emirates and Qatar Airways. If you are arriving at Gatwick by train, you will pull into the South Terminal station and must take the free automated shuttle (a 2-minute ride) to reach the North Terminal for your Emirates check-in. Emirates also operates a premium lounge in the North Terminal for its First Class, Business Class, and eligible Skywards members. In 2026, it is important to double-check your terminal if you are connecting from another flight; while British Airways and Vueling use the South Terminal, Emirates remains firmly anchored in the North. Arriving at the wrong terminal can add 15–20 minutes to your transit time, so following the "North Terminal" signs is critical for a stress-free departure to Dubai.
