Aside to the regulars, if the OP has a 7 day travelcard, can he get a
ticket from Boundary Zone 6 to Gatwick, and by which route would this
ticket be valid?

No, because he is starting at Gatwick, and such tickets can only be sold
'from' the zonal area.

He's starting at Gatwick on the way in, but going to Gatwick on the way
out. On account of how you have to end up in the same place as the
aeroplane if you want to get on it, i think.

Sure, but making use of a BZ extension on the way back is a waste of money
if he already has a 'return' from Gatwick.

Yes, good point.

(A 7 day travelcard is a season by the way, but with a BZ extension
there is no need to call at a station anyway - that is part of their
whole rationale...)

Isn't there a specific exclusion for PTE tickets like travelcards, though?

Travelcards aren't PTE tickets though. TfL isn't (and LRT wasn't) a
PTE, plus the Travelcard is not solely a TfL ticketing product - it's
a joint TfL and National Rail product (the NatRail element being
managed through the "London Schemes Council" of ATOC).

FWIW. Boundary Zone extension tickets are available for *both* season
(weekly, monthly etc) Travelcards *and* Day Travelcards.
