Well you have probably picked them up by the time you read this but there are two short term car parks at LGW North Terminal both the same distance from the arrivals area and clearly signposted!

OK, thanks for that. That explains why I was given different answers.
Never used North before, only ever used South.
I'm not getting them till the early hours of Sunday, so it's not too late!
Thanks again.

BA Laddy or others in 'the know'
Any rumours of any new short haul BA routes for next summer?
I hear that BA Gatwick has performed well this summer with money being made.
I was thinking of places such as Palma, Funchal, Las Palmas. (although I know that is operating once weekly from Heathrow this winter)
I can also see Larnaca having a frequency increase as loads have been very good. Their seasonal Paphos service has been extended too Hopefully that route may return to year round again in the not too distant future.
On long haul I also hear the Las Vegas flights are performing well.
Does anyone think that the Seychelles may ever be re-instated?
Thanks in advance for any comments or news.

Easyjet will operate LGW-JER 3x daily from 30 March 2014, but not LGW-GCI because of runway restrictions.

These 3 airports VLC, SVQ, BIO still not served from London airports with BA. They are the third, fourth and fith biggest metropolitan areas in Spain, and also important touristic cities/regions being Seville the third most visited city in Spain, Valencia the fourth and Bilbao the sixth.
Although there is lowcost competition from VLG, EZY and RYR, I think there is still a gap to grow mainly in VLC and SVQ as short haul destinations from LGW.

Excellent news that easyJet are launching Gatwick - Jersey flights. The route is strategically important for the Island and, despite a good service from British Airways, the route can support competition.
The frequency and timings are better than might have been expected, although I would think the 07.00 out of Jersey with BA will be difficult to get seats on at times. Having said that, the attraction of easyJet will lure leisure travellers. 3x daily is a slight capacity increase on Flybe too, I believe.

With all due respect skipness one echo this has nothing at all to do with my house ! I'm simply asking a question .
However I will now ask one of you, are your comments backed with fact or are they fact & source less ? ie your own opinion ?
If so why is your opinion any more correct than mine ?

I seem to have been modded. Let me rephrase. The competitive environment is not conducive to new London - regional links. The train is much preferred over the whole airport experience, quite rightly for short hops. We have lost a great deal of domestic connectivity over recent years from London.
LCY-NCL/BHD/NQY/PLH/LPL/MAN
LGW-NCL/LBA/GCI/IOM/MAN/PLH
STN-PIK/BLK/NQY
LTN-LPL
A few died over night when the West Coast Main Line was fixed, a few died when APD was hiked. Ryanair exited citing APD and having to pay for the use of airports(!) LCY is a very tricky place to make money from as they have high charges and outwith core banking routes, airlines cannot cover their costs on domestics against LHR and loco. LGW has made a decision under new management to implement a pricing structure harmful to operators of smaller aircraft. QED cheerio niche domestic and flybe.
Yeah, but pretty seasonal and not something LGW are presumably chasing after making certain flybe departed. The only likely candidate is easyJet.
100,000 over a year is only 136 each way on a daily A319. Now they're not gonna get that outwith the summer hols, so it's not looking likely.
Sorry if I came over badly, I apologise for my tone and choice of words. It was uncalled for.

Still no sign of a replacement airline for LGW-NQY ?
Odd for a market which is proven at circa 100,000

KE was to re-start operations this summer to Seoul. So far that hasn't happened although flights remain in the system but not bookable. Does anyone know their intentions, starting or not?

Must be a bit of disappointment at Gatwick today, Norwegian have announced the schedules for their 787s and London does not get a look in at any of the new routes.
They are launching routes from the Scandanavian capitals to Oakland, Los Angeles, New York and Orlando.
I would imagine Gatwick would jump at the opportunity at an LAX and NYC service!
I think they were only taking delivery of 6-8 787's, so I would imagine their is little slack left in the scheule for any services from LGW!
