Being reported elsewhere (flyertalk - no link possible), that a walkable Dometic and CTA route is being introduced at Gatwick Arrivals. The bussing is tedious in the extreme, arrived on stand 4 last night on an airbridge then down and onto the apron to board a bus. Someone has listened, well done !
Also ref Pier 1, I didn't see any signage for Arrivals at all, Surely International Arrivals can walk from Pier 1 to UK Border? I assume it's on the ground floor?
