Gatwick Airport (LGW) is one of the busiest airports in the UK, serving millions of passengers annually. It operates two main terminals — North Terminal and South Terminal — each handling a wide range of domestic and international flights.

If you’ve ever wondered things like “How many terminals does Gatwick have?” or “What terminal is my airline using?”, this guide will help clear up the confusion.

✈️ Gatwick Terminals Overview
Unlike other UK airports that use numbers for terminals (e.g., Terminal 2 or 5), Gatwick only has two terminals:

North Terminal (Terminal N)

South Terminal (Terminal S)

Make sure you know which terminal you’re using — it will save you a lot of time and stress on the day of travel.

🧭 How Do I Know Which Gatwick Terminal I’m Flying From?
Here’s how you can easily check:

Booking Confirmation: Your airline will usually list the terminal in your e-ticket.

Boarding Pass: After check-in, the terminal is printed clearly.

Airline Website: Airlines often mention which terminal they operate from.

Always confirm before you travel, as airlines may occasionally change terminals.
