GATWICK SOUTH TERMINAL
Departed through the South Terminal in the middle of November (five week cruise so that is the delay) and was very disappointed. Check-in for Monarch charter very quick then downhill from there. Security Monday morning 6 am - very big queue took at least 15 minutes to get through - not all gates open - surly staff said good morning to one lady - no answer - I knew she was British because she told the guy behind me quote ´´take that belt off´´ no please or nothing! Departure lounge one big shopping and food hall - no windows - could have been at Lakeside or Trafford Centre! Then a 20 minute hike to departure gate.
Looks to me as though the South Terminal has gone backwards and with all that money spent on it no improvement at all in my opinion. These comments I am sending to Gatwick managment and await they response with interest.
When my partner and I flew from Bombay, Delhi and Bangkok it put most of our airports to shame I must say.
