Hi there,

This is my first holiday on my own and to the Cilento Coast on the 5th June.

Is there anyone travelling out that day from Gatwick?

The reason I ask is that if you were staying over night at the airport, it would be nice to have a meal and a pre get together.

Look forward in hearing from

Best Wishes,

Heather

Hello Heather

Myself and a friend will be travelling from Gatwick on 5th June. I'm not sure yet whether we will be staying overnight in Gatwick but it is something we are looking into.

If we are we would be happy to meet up. I can let you know. If not we will definitely be able to meet up in the morning.

I see this is your first holiday on your own. Don't worry. You will love it and JY are such a brilliant company to travel with. I'm really looking forward to this trip. It sounds amazing. Best wishes Olive

Hello Olive,

Nice to hear from you.

I am travelling from Bristol so like you I am weighing up the odds whether to catch a very early morning coach straight to Gatwick, or stay over if there are enough people for a pre get together the night before.

Do let me know where you think you might be nearer the time, and it will be great to meet you and your friend.

Best wishes

Hello Olive,

Nice to hear from you.

Like you I am weighing the odds whether to travel directly to the airport or stay over, providing there would be enough for people for a pre get together the night before.

It will be nice to hear from you with your decision either way.

Best wishes

Heather

Hi Heather

I'm the friend who is travelling with Olive and it's the first time I've travelled with Just You as well. Olive has raved about her holidays with this company so I thought I would give it a try and as she said it would be great to meet up with you at Gatwick. If you or anyone else has a tip for a good hotel in walking distance of the North Terminal that would be really useful too.

Look forward to meeting you.

Hi

I too am on this holiday & still thinking through my travel options due to the early morning departure time. A JY friend of mine is planning an overnight stay, so depending on our decisions there is a possibility we could have a pre get-together.

Regards

Hi Max

I stayed at the Premier Inn North Terminal when I last travelled to Italy from Gatwick. It is very close to the Terminal and is reasonably priced.

Hope this helps.

Hello All,

It is a great idea to meet up if there are a few of you staying over. I have found the Premier Inn at the North Terminal is ideal. It is opposite the moving walkway up to Departures. The rooms are very comfortable and well priced and I have stayed there on several occasions. You can ask the Moderator to pass on mobile numbers if you like. On my first JY holiday I arranged to meet someone in Gatwick airport for lunch on the day of the departure and that way I knew at least on person on the trip!

I did this holiday last year and loved the area and the spa was wonderful! Enjoy.

Thanks for the tips everyone. Looks like the Premier Inn is a good bet and it sounds like we might have a nice group for dinner.

Hi again

I suggest that if you want to have dinner that someone in the group books a table as soon as you arrive at the Premier Inn. Dining room is very busy and we were offered a table at 10pm!!!

Hi Maz,

Really good to hear from you.

So sorry for not replying sooner but I have had problems with my e-mails.

Do you think you will be staying overnight at Gatwick?

If so, I would opt for staying at the Premier Inn too.

I don't mind booking a table for dinner, providing I can find out who will be coming.

Best Wishes

Departure 5th June

Hi there everyone,

Thanks so much for the tips and advice for hotel accommodation near the North Terminal at Gatwick.

The Premier Inn certainly sounds the best bet.

I am happy to book a table for dinner if anyone is staying over at the Premier Inn the night before.

Best Wishes

Hi Heather

My friend Sue & I are still discussing Premier Inn hotels, North or Airport Way (which saver rate is much cheaper at the moment). I will let you know once we have decided which one to book, but we would be happy to join you for a meal whichever hotel we choose as they are fairly close to each other.

Hi Barbara,

That's brilliant! Hopefully, we should have about six for dinner at the moment.

Do keep me posted.

Hi Heather

We are looking at the Premier Inn North Terminal at the moment so hopefully will be booking it. As soon as we're sorted we'll let you know.

Would you be happy for us to ask the Moderator to pass phone numbers and/or email addresses on. It might be easier?

Kind regards, Olive

Hi Olive,

Oh that is good news. Yes of course I am happy to give you my e-mail and mobile phone number.

If you know what you need to do to swap numbers etc, please feel free.

Many thanks

Just thought Olive,

There are two Premier Inn's at the North Terminal. The cheaper one which is just a little further away, is still within walking distance of the terminal and is £35.00 for the night, as opposed to £74.00 for the other.

It is called Premier Inn A23 Airport Way.

They also have a shuttle bus from 4.00am. Worth considering?

Regards,

Heather

Hi Olive and BlueMed,

I will be happy to drop the both of you an email with each others email addresses - would this be ok?

Kindest regards,

Hi All

That is the one we are thinking about, roughly a 3-5 minute walk from the terminal, but haven't booked anything yet. I am happy to pass on my contact details if it helps

Hi Barb,

That will be good.

If you can ask the Moderator, I can pass my details on to you.
