    I arrive 90 mins before flying at Gatwick with carry on only. Clear security in 20 mins (always get searched, no matter what). Two bottles of gin from duty free, sit down for 20 mins looking at all the sights (whoever thought wearing a shower curtain for a dress in an plane is a good idea, but there you go) then amble to the gate about 5 miles away and jobs a good 'un.

    Last did it in June. Gatwick seem to have it all organised now and EasyJet make it like catching a bus. Nice and easy.
    I am put off doing cabin bag only for a couple of reasons. 1. Concerned that the airline will say that my case is fractionally too large 2. That there will be too many passengers with cabin bags and I will have to transfer it to the hold. I have certain medications/documents/camera with me which I will not risk putting in the hold so i prefer to have a small daysac which will always fit under the seat in front.
