Here’s the best part. You don’t have to pay a penny. Gatwick South has a “Long Stay” car park. It’s a 10-minute free shuttle bus ride away. You park there for free for two hours to drop off.
Yes, you read that right. Two hours free. That’s enough time for a full-on emotional meltdown and a tearful wave. And it costs exactly £0. The airport hates this one simple trick.
The shuttle bus is called a “transit.” It smells faintly of diesel and optimism. But hey—it’s free. And you get to see the planes up close. That’s basically a free show.
