Thanks adfly and Skipness One Echo, makes sense now!
Quote: "I personally think some major re-organising needs to be done to each terminal with the South being primarily Low-cost/Charter/Minor airlines and the North as Full-service/regional airlines. This could also help Gatwick to improve its appeal to fussy Business pax as they would not have to worry about sharing a terminal with horrible, evil holidaymakers!!"
Interesting idea, adfly, it would be a big upheaval for VS and BE to shift from LGW-south (looking at a map, shouldn't that be EAST?!) to LGW-north.
Wouldn't it be a lot easier if the terminals were simply LGW-1 and LGW-2?
