Connecting airside from South to North Terminal in Gatwick?

Question

I need to connect from an international arrival (Zoom Airlines) in the South Terminal to an international departure (BA) in the North Terminal within 2 hours.

1) Is there a bus transfer between the airside sections of both terminals ? I want to avoid going through customs and/or security to save time.

2) Where is this shuttle located on south side/north side ?

3) How long will this take ? (I am arriving Saturday around 11:00AM)

Please answer only if you are really familiar with Gatwick (I have already looked at the airport website and found it unhelpful, please do not refer to this...). Thanks!

Answer 1

Use the Inter-terminal bus. It leaves from below the Flight Connections area if you are connecting airside. There are signs for "International flight connections" as you get off your plane. The bus will take about ten minutes to North terminal.

I assume you do not need to check in at Gatwick for your next flight?

If you do, then you need to collect your luggage at the South terminal and go through customs there. And take the shuttle from outside the terminal.

You will not be able to collect your luggage at South Terminal and then take the airside transfer to the North Terminal without going through customs.

Hope this made sense... =)
