GatwickConnects improves the flight experience for passengers

Most airports strive to provide superior service and an ever-improving experience for travellers. From better access to Gatwick parking to a more efficient transit through the airport itself, flight-goers demand more in an age in which instant gratification is a key concept.

One way in which airlines and airports can improve the overall flight experience for travellers is by offering additional connections and flights through well-travelled hubs. Gatwick Airport recently unveiled its latest improvement, GatwickConnects, which aims to provide travellers with many new destination options and better overall ticket fares.

Connecting Flights Provide Flexibility

As airports like Gatwick begin to offer additional connecting flights, travellers find themselves in a great position to take advantage of shorter wait times and less inconvenience. Previous ways of booking connecting flights required flyers to take on additional risk; if a flight was cancelled or late in some way, then your connecting flight could be missed or unavailable. Nevertheless, the ability to book connecting flights provided travellers with additional discounts and more flexibility on how and when to travel between various cities. Valuable in particular to those who wish to travel without purpose, this type of service has now been revolutionised with GatwickConnects.

Introducing GatwickConnects

With the brand new service GatwickConnects, travellers can combine the flexibility that connecting flights offer with cost savings – as well as the security that other direct flights provide. This new way to travel provides flyers with peace of mind, thanks to the protection provided to passengers when travelling along hundreds of different flight paths. There is now no need to worry about being left behind if your flight is late or cancelled. In addition, GatwickConnects maintains the ability for flyers to find excellent prices on all sorts of flights to and from Europe and North America throughout the entire year.

Major Cost Savings

When comparing direct and alternative flights to comparable flights offered via GatwickConnects, the savings are extraordinary. With routes passing through Ireland and Scotland on their way to New York and Los Angeles, flyers can expect to save anywhere from 10 to 20 percent when compared to alternative connecting flights. Heading to Spain? Expect to find routes via GatwickConnects for 30 percent or more less than when choosing a direct flight alternative. Regardless of your destination, the ample cost savings offered by this program – combined with the sheer number of choices available – make it a definite possibility for any traveller.

Don't Be Nervous

For those who have never used connecting flights before, the concept can be a bit confusing and worrisome. Don't worry! Stopovers and plane changes are routine affairs and should be viewed more like a second departure than some new concept. In addition, GatwickConnects' guarantee that your flight and arrival at the destination is guaranteed can help reduce any stress over trying this type of travel for the first time. There are much more substantial draw-backs with taking a direct flight – namely that you will pay much more. In addition, connecting flights not under the GatwickConnects program are often unsecured, meaning you could be without a guaranteed destination flight at some point.
