London Gatwick, the city's second-biggest aviation hub, has confirmed that it is increasing charges in its drop-off zones by £3 in 2026. From January the fee, which allows drivers to stop outside the terminal for 10 minutes, will be £10. This means that Gatwick will have the highest drop-off charge in the UK. The fee has doubled since LGW initially introduced a drop-off charge in 2021; it increased to £6 in 2024 and £7 in May 2025.
Kawtar Boudad Dupont, 31, said she was travelling with her two daughters, aged two and eight, on 30 October when she went into a baby changing room in the South Terminal to feed one of her children. She said the room was so small she was forced to leave their luggage outside, but when she came out a few minutes later their belongings were gone.
