London Gatwick Airport (LGW) — Britain's Second Gateway

London Gatwick (IATA: LGW) is the United Kingdom's second-busiest airport, located near Crawley in West Sussex, approximately 28 to 30 miles (45 to 48 kilometres) south of central London. It is the secondary London hub for British Airways and the largest single operating base for easyJet anywhere in the world, alongside Wizz Air and TUI Airways charter operations, connecting Gatwick to long-haul leisure and secondary business destinations across North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.

Gatwick operates two physically separate terminals — the North Terminal and the South Terminal — which are landside-only connected by a free automated people-mover (the Gatwick Transit) running every 2 to 6 minutes. The terminals cannot be reached on foot. The South Terminal, the older and larger of the two, houses the Gatwick Express rail link to London Victoria and serves British Airways short-haul, easyJet's primary hub operations, Norwegian, and a wide range of European and long-haul carriers. The North Terminal, spread across four levels, primarily handles long-haul international flights. A common and costly error is a driver positioned at the wrong terminal — the two are genuinely separate facilities requiring different approach roads. When you book with Blackcars, you confirm your terminal and flight number, and your driver tracks your flight and is positioned at the correct terminal regardless of any last-minute airline changes.

How It Works

• Flight tracking — your driver monitors your flight from departure, adjusting to your actual landing at no extra charge
• Meet and greet inside the terminal — your driver waits at the correct terminal's arrivals exit with a name sign, assists with luggage, and escorts you to the vehicle
• North vs South Terminal confirmed in advance — we verify your exact terminal at booking and again before your flight, eliminating the most common Gatwick transfer error
• Fixed price confirmed in advance — no meter, no surcharge, no surprises
• Door to door — directly to your London hotel, residence, office, or onward UK destination

Transfer Destinations & Journey Times from Gatwick (LGW)

* Approximate times under normal traffic. The M23/A23 corridor to central London can be congested during weekday peak hours (07:00–09:30 and 16:30–19:00). All our vehicles are ULEZ-compliant; applicable charges are included in your fixed price.

Private Jet & VIP Terminal — Gatwick

For clients arriving on a commercial flight who wish to bypass the main concourse entirely, Signature Elite Class operates Gatwick's premier VIP terminal — a private departure lounge located a short walk from the South Terminal building and train station, offering full ticketing and luggage check-in within a calm, private environment, dedicated security and customs screening away from the main passenger flow, and a chauffeured drive directly to and from the aircraft door. Arriving guests are met planeside, driven directly to the Elite Class lounge while dedicated staff retrieve checked luggage, and processed through customs and immigration without ever entering the main terminal. The only difference between a Signature Elite Class commercial flight and a true private aircraft journey is the aircraft itself.

For private jet and business aircraft, Gatwick's dedicated FBO facilities — operated by Signature Aviation, who also run the Elite Class commercial service, alongside Swissport executive aviation — provide complete private aviation handling: ramp services, flight support, and concierge coordination for principals and corporate flight departments. Blackcars provides specialist chauffeur coordination for both Signature Elite Class commercial VIP travel and full private jet FBO arrivals, with drivers liaising directly with Signature staff to confirm timing and ensure your vehicle is positioned for direct tarmac-to-car transfer.
