If it takes me 2 minutes to walk over that bridge (say), unless I'm
injured I know it will always take that.

It's much more than 2 minutes.


It's about 200m long, and has travelators, so two minutes is about right.


What about the escalators up and down?


OK, so add another minute. It's still much quicker, and more interesting,
than getting to many other Gatwick gates, particularly if you're coming
from one of the business lounges.

Anyway, with BA moving south, and all easyJet operations now being based in
the North terminal, I don't expect to be using it much in the future. It
used to be a nice terminal before easyJet moved in, but is now too crowded,
and will only get worse.

I just hope that BA hasn't degraded Virgin's excellent Flying Club lounge
in the South terminal too much during the conversion.
