Hi Sue,
In most cases, particularly long haul, we don’t get a choice of whether we offer a holiday from Heathrow or Gatwick – the selection depends on the airport which airlines themselves select, and most of them prefer Heathrow. Typically although the split is commonly seen as leisure destinations such as the Caribbean and Florida from Gatwick and business destinations such as Beijing and Singapore from Heathrow, the nature of the Just You programme means we tend to avoid many of the resort-type destinations (classified as ‘leisure’) in favour of more interesting destinations that offer a better touring opportunity or local flavour, which often fly from Heathrow.
If there are no internal flights on a tour itinerary, it may be possible to reach the destination from Gatwick (which we could potentially manage as a special request), but there may be a flight supplement, transfer fees, and an indirect flight to make the routing possible.
Thanks,
Tim
