Gatwick - London: first time traveller needs advice

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. He doesn't have to buy singles each way (like most journeys near London), as Gatwick is an airport station - so returns are available valid one month. AFAICS a return for his in and out journey will be fare simpler than any fiddling about with BZ fares (which would have to be from Z3 as a Z1-3 travelcard is mentioned) (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...)
