Hi, I have done at leat seven wonderful Just You holidays in the past departing from Gatwick and would love to try some more. However, I notice that there are fewer departures from Gatwick these days. It would be difficult and expensive for me to get to Heathrow, and I am wondering if more departures from Gatwick may be introduced next year.

I have already mentioned this to JY. I seem to have exhausted all the short haul holidays flying from Gatwick.This is my local airport & as an older traveller,I look for the easy option & would not even consider Heathrow.

 Like you, I have done at least ten holidays from Gatwick, so please JY, add some more, particularly to the South of France. Otherwise my travels with JY will be over !

Just to hopefully answer a few queries:

We currently have 63 tours that fly from London Gatwick, of which 62 fly direct. We’re always looking at further options available and we’ll continue to offer the choice and flexibility that our customers are asking for.

In our latest brochure, because local flights are constantly becoming available, we are asking you to give us a call if there is a tour date you’re interested in and you can’t see your regional departure airport online, so we can look at all the options at the time of booking. We do currently offer local flights from around 30 airports in the UK.

I hope this helps 🙂

Many thanks,

Vickie

I agree with you Sarah, Gatwick is the worst airport for me to get to from Newcastle. I think JY need to offer a choice of airports for each holiday, Gatwick/Heathrow, Manchester, Edinburgh,  etc, then at least it makes it a bit easier to get to one airport for most of us. I don’t expect JY to offer flights from my local airport all the time, but only offering one airport does sometimes affect the choices I make when choosing a holiday because of the additional expenses/time off work for hotel/internal flights, etc.  Even just offering 2 or 3 airports would help.

Totally agree with you.  Gatwick is a nightmare, so if it does not go from Heathrow then neither do I.  Even Manchester is hell to get to by road these days (I am near Scotch Corner) and rail is not really an option for me. So it is Leeds/Bradford, no good if your luggage gets left behind, or Newcastle to Heathrow for me.

However, I am flying out of Gatwick to Cuba with JY in 6 weeks. Hotel room booked for the night before and crossing my fingers for the journey  home :)

Looking forward to meeting you Tony. Tried to contact you via the forum but failed

It once took me over 6 hours to drive home from Gatwick to Northamptonshire and I said never again!

I hate going from Gatwick but just grit my teeth and get on with it.  London City is my favourite then Heathrow.  Would like to give the newly developed and renovated Southend a go.  Don’t like the crowds at Stansted so pay £15 to use the lounge and enjoy a calmer start to my wonderful JY Hols.  Happy travels everybody from wherever you fly.
