Anyone who travels through Gatwick has probably seen the overbridge
that connects the North Terminal to its pier 6. This is the world's
highest and longest passenger bridge over an active taxiway, and I
think it's rather elegant.


It's also a complete pain in the arse. Why didn't they connect to the
South Terminal instead?


It's nowhere near the South terminal, so your question makes no sense.


It's 200m from the nearest bit of the south terminal.

Why don't you like it? It's more convenient than getting to the T2
satellite at Heathrow, and much more scenic.


It makes the route-march to immigration even longer.

And then you have to take the shuttle all the way back to the South
terminal to catch a train.
