More than a vehicle waiting outside the airport

A proper Gatwick North Terminal Meet & Greet chauffeur service begins before the passenger enters Arrivals. The operating flight, passenger details, luggage requirements, chauffeur and vehicle positioning are coordinated as one carefully managed operation.

  • Flight tracking: the scheduled and operating arrival are monitored so collection timing can be adjusted.
  • Professional welcome: the chauffeur waits inside the public Arrivals hall with the agreed passenger name.
  • Luggage support: after contact is made, the chauffeur assists with luggage and leads the route to the vehicle.
  • Prepared departure: vehicle positioning is coordinated around the current airport arrangement.
  • Passenger confidence: the passenger is not expected to search through unfamiliar car parks alone.
Airport waiting is measured from the flight’s recorded landing time. Immigration, baggage delivery and customs processing can vary, so passengers should keep their telephone switched on after landing.

North Terminal operational guide

Understanding Gatwick North Terminal Arrivals

North Terminal handles domestic, European and long-haul services. Airline and individual flight allocations can change, so passengers should verify their flight through Gatwick’s official information.

International arrivals

International passengers follow signs towards UK Border Control. Eligible passengers may use ePassport gates, while others are directed towards staffed immigration desks.

After immigration, passengers enter baggage reclaim. The flight number and allocated baggage belt are displayed on airport screens. Once luggage has been collected, passengers proceed through customs.

The passenger then enters the public International Arrivals hall. This is where the Black Fleet London Meet & Greet takes place.

Domestic arrivals

Domestic passengers normally proceed directly towards baggage reclaim and the public Arrivals area.

Baggage delays

Report missing luggage to the airline or baggage handler before leaving reclaim, then update Black Fleet London.

Customs

Use the appropriate customs channel and follow official government instructions where goods must be declared.

Terminal connections

Gatwick’s inter-terminal shuttle connects North and South Terminal.

  • The chauffeur assists with luggage.
  • Lifts, walkways and pedestrian signs are followed.
  • The chauffeur coordinates the final vehicle approach.
  • Current airport access arrangements are followed on the day.
