One of the biggest concerns for passengers connecting low-cost fares is that they will lose the next leg of their flight if they miss the cut-off time because of delays on the first leg. If the flights have been booked separately they stand to lose because low-cost flights are sold point to point and airlines generally offer no protection for what happens once travellers arrive at their destination. Passengers have no protection if their flight is re-scheduled or delayed, affecting their ability to connect with their next flight.
Gatwick Airport is the UK’s second largest airport, with UK’s largest route network, 11 UK regional points and 190 international destinations and is a major hub for many travellers making connections within and out of the UK.
