FAQs

What's the liquid rule at Gatwick South Terminal?

The standard 100ml-container rule applies. Each liquid, gel or paste must be in a container of 100ml or smaller, all fitting inside a single 1-litre clear plastic bag.

Is South Terminal slower for security than North?

Often — easyJet volume in school holidays and weekend mornings can push queues past 45 minutes. Fast Track is worth it for early flights.
