    Hi

    If you arrive at Gatwick South, which you do by train, then you need to take the shuttle (overhead railway) to Gatwick North. It is easy to find and runs every 5 - 10 mins.

    It is very easy to find your way around at Gatwick North until you get through to airside. You need to keep an eye on which gate you are going from as the entrances are in different areas. Having said that they are all signposted.

    Food wise there is anything from McDonalds, Garfunkels + many others. Also there are shops to look around. You do get a meal appropriate to the time of day with BA.

    Have a great time!

    Gatwick North is a nice little terminal. It is generally quiet and much more relaxed than the Zoo that is Gatwick South. There is a small kids play area near Boots.In terms of eating, good selection of eating places on the top floor. Also have a look at the BAA Gatwick website for more info on the terminal.
