    Overview

    London Gatwick Airport (LGW) is London's second largest international airport and second busiest by total passenger traffic in the United Kingdom. Gatwick has the world's busiest single-use runway and is Europe's leading airport for point-to-point flights. It is located 28 miles (45 km) south of London. Charter airlines generally do not operate from Heathrow and use Gatwick as a base for London and the South East. The airport is a base for scheduled operators Aer Lingus, British Airways (BA), EasyJet, Flybe and Virgin Atlantic whilst also a base for charter airlines including Monarch Airlines, Thomas Cook Airlines and Thomson Airways.

    Terminals

    Gatwick Airport has two terminals, North and South. Both have shops and restaurants, landside and airside. Disabled passengers can travel through all areas. There are facilities for baby changing and feeding, and play areas and video games for children. Business travellers have lounges offering business facilities. In 2008 Virgin Holidays opened V Room, Gatwick's first dedicated lounge for leisure travellers. Use of this lounge is exclusive to Virgin Holidays customers flying from the airport to Orlando, Las Vegas and the Caribbean with sister airline Virgin Atlantic.
