About London Gatwick Airport

London Gatwick (LGW) is the UK's second-busiest airport and a major hub for international and European flights. Located approximately 230 miles from Plymouth, Gatwick serves over 45 million passengers annually, operating flights to more than 230 destinations worldwide.

Gatwick has 2 terminals:

• North Terminal - easyJet (main base), TUI Airways, Ryanair, Norwegian, JetBlue
• South Terminal - British Airways, Emirates, Air France, Aer Lingus, Vueling

Our drivers know both Gatwick terminals and will drop you at the correct departure area for your airline. The two terminals are connected by a free shuttle train (2-minute journey), but we'll ensure you're at the right one from the start.

Journey Time & Route Information

The journey from Plymouth to Gatwick Airport typically takes between 4 to 4.5 hours depending on traffic. We usually travel via the M5 motorway to junction 31, then the A30, M4, and M25 orbital motorway to Gatwick.

For early morning flights (departing before 9am), we recommend departing Plymouth by 4-4:30am. Our experienced drivers monitor live traffic and will recommend the optimal pickup time when you book. We always aim to arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before short-haul flights and 3 hours before long-haul departures.

We offer fixed-price transfers to both airports from Plymouth. View our Heathrow transfer page for comparison.
