Default Gatwick - London: first time traveller needs advice

He could buy a BZ5 to Gatwick ticket, and use it on any train which stops

Because East Croydon is in Z5? It doesn't work that way.

I normally have a Z1-4 travelcard, but if I get a ticket from BZ4 to
wherever, the train doesn't have to stop in zone 4 for the ticket to be
valid.

BZ tickets are the big exception to the normal rule that if you are
combining multiple tickets for a single journey, you need to travel on
trains that stop at appropriate places.
