You’ll see “Purple Parking” everywhere. It sounds like a psychedelic experience. It’s not. It’s just a bus ride away. But here’s the kicker: the bus is free.
You park in a field that looks like a giant purple carpet. Then a bus picks you up within five minutes. Yes, five. It’s faster than finding a seat at the gate.
Why purple? No one knows. It’s a branding mystery. But it works. You’ll never look at the color the same way again.
The “Long Stay” Lie (It’s Actually a Short Walk)
“Long Stay” sounds terrifying. You imagine a hike through Mordor. But at Gatwick’s South Terminal? It’s a five-minute walk. Five!
I once timed it. From car seat to check-in desk: 4 minutes and 37 seconds. That’s less time than it takes to find your passport in your bag.
And the price? Often half what the “Short Stay” costs. The short stay is for people who forgot their luggage. We remember ours. We are winners.
