    - Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport

    - Metro Hotel Dublin Airport
  • If you are feeling a little stressed about the journey or simply want to start your holiday before take-off, head to Gatwick’s Aerospa for a head massage, facial or manicure.
  • If you have time to spare, there are four airport lounges in both the North and South Terminal, which are much cheaper if you pre-book.
  • If you forget to pack medication or just need something last-minute, there are pharmacists located in both the North and South Terminals; just remember to pack your prescriptions (it's always a good idea to take them on your travels, just in case).
  • If you are being dropped off by someone at Gatwick Airport, it can be far easier to head to the Premier Inn hotel at the South Terminal; cars can drop off and pick up people without having to navigate the short-stay parking options and the hotel is right next door to the car parks and opposite the entrance.
  • Upon arrival in Dublin, if you plan to take a bus into the city centre, the Aircoach can be a good choice as it has more stops than other services and is often more roomy than other buses.
  • If you’re travelling with children, but want to carry less luggage, you can hire good-quality equipment (car seats, prams/strollers, etc.) at The Stork Exchange at Dublin Airport. Staff will even install car seats for you but you will obviously need to pre-book.
  • London Gatwick and Dublin Airports both have water stations where you can fill up your own bottles with water, for free; just empty the bottles before security at Gatwick and refill them on the other side. When you land, you can top them up again.
