Which terminal at Gatwick for arrivals?

easyJet operate from both North and South Terminal - please check with the airline to confirm which terminal you need to go to for your flight.



At London Gatwick Airport (LGW) in 2026, the arrival terminal is determined entirely by the airline you are flying with, as Gatwick does not separate arrivals and departures by terminal. The airport consists of the North Terminal and the South Terminal, connected by a free 24-hour automated shuttle train. Major carriers like EasyJet operate out of both, so you must check your specific flight number. However, as a general rule, the North Terminal typically handles flights for British Airways (mostly), TUI, and Qatar Airways, while the South Terminal is the hub for Ryanair, Vueling, Norwegian, and most long-haul flights from Norse Atlantic. When you land, follow the "Arrivals" signs which will lead you through Passport Control, Baggage Reclaim, and Customs within that specific terminal. If you are being picked up, tell your driver to meet you at the designated "International Arrivals" area on the ground level of whichever terminal you landed in. Always double-check your boarding pass or the live Gatwick app upon landing to confirm which building you are actually in before heading to the shuttle.
