Gatwick Airport Airport charged

On the 20/9/22 I was charged twice to leave Gatwick, first from the car park and second from the pickup point, and this was due to the fact that the car parking company told us to go to South terminal and then the car was bought to North terminal and my passenger had to stay at South terminal with the baggage And that’s why I had to collect them.

Desired outcome: Refund for charge from the pick up point.

Gatwick Airport Gatwick Autopay

I signed up for Autopay to drop off passengers at Gatwick airport. It has worked well on 272 occasions over the past 11 months. Now it doesn't accept my card details to pay online. The problem started 2 weeks ago, my Autopay account is still active and all the details are correct but the payment page (live.ekashu.com) does not respond. I have spoken to their customer services department several time but they are unable to help. They have not responded to emails, nor online complaints. I have tried using different cards, different browsers, different devices and even phoned my bank to ensure there is no issue with my cards.

My vehicle registration is FX64OUV

Email: [protected]@yahoo.com

Regards

Robert Smith

Desired outcome: I would just like the service to work as it has done these past 11 months.

Gatwick Airport 200 mayfair

I bought myself 200 Mayfair, on opening the first pack I was shocked at how scruffy the cigerettes looked, it looks like they were the duff ones and you threw them in anyway, the tobacco is loose in them and they feel like they are going to fall apart when smoking them. I'm not happy that I paid out money but got shoddy goods. I would either like my money back or another box of proper Mayfair, lease ones look cheap and nasty and poorly made

Gatwick Airport Theft and intimidation

I traveled from Gatwick to Budapest 1 month ago, and the security checked me for everything I have. I travel alot - I have to carry all my medications with me, all professional tools (I am university lecturer). They took all my medications, my laser pen and a personal file. It is completely outrageous.They wanted to take my lap top too..but I managed to recover that and then managed to get on the flight. The security officer said to me (verbatim) - ' I am just doing my job, thank god for the security problems, otherwise I would not have a job'. What a complete disgrace. How do I file this as a Law Suit? I have not got over that experience

My adtvice to anyone travelling through Gatwick Airport Security is to have a friend who can photo what the security do for any sign of infringement and theft by the security staff their - the security staff at Gatwick are completely corrupt and 1 officer admitted it to me - she just said - 'I need the work, I am glad we have security problems'. Well that says alot about my country.

Gatwick Airport Trying to make a Complaint

Trying to make a complaint to Gatwick seems impossible, I went on holiday and my girlfriend left her purse on the plane, we realised as soon as we were off the flight but no one would let us back on, we were the last to leave the plane and it was never handed in. The only people aloud on the plane are airline employees. We've contacted then and Gatwick and have had no help at all. I've tried to complain to Gatwick but it seems the only complaint you can send in is one about aircraft noise! Does anyone know of an address I can use to send my complaint into.

How do I make a complaint to Gatwick about the parking companies that they allow to use their facilities. I have had an horrendous experience with a company who I used to park at Gatwick. It resulted in me being charged to leave the car park then again “in pick” up to collect a family member because we were directed to the wrong car park and so they waited elsewhere with the bags. So charged twice just to leave the airport.

Gatwick Airport Damage to property/Attitude

On August 24, 2009 at approximately 5pm, my prescription glasses emerged broken from the security scan (scanner 2/3) at Gatwick Airport terminal for British Airways/Iberia to Barcelona. I was so shocked and angry that I was in tears, holding up my glasses; they could not have failed to notice me. My husband was also trying to get their attention, but they were so busy verbally abusing the female passenger ahead of me that we were totally blanked.
Eventually my husband spoke to someone in authority and the complaint was well handled (clearly they were culpable). I will be submitting an insurance claim. Regardless, the employees on the scanner NEVER ONCE acknowledged me, which was a deliberate and cavalier response. We have a photo of the damage but it is too large to attach here (max 2 MB)

When I told my family about the occurrence, I was told that my nephew (disabled by Cerebral Palsy) had also experienced verbal abuse on a flight to Spain. Evidently my nephew had asked (reasonably) if he should take off his belt. The guard replied along the lines of ``Of course, stupid idiot, there`s a metal buckle!``

We are mature, educated, quiet, well-travelled professionals. We were sober and compliant. We have passsed through security in airports in many cities and countries. NEVER have we experienced anything like this elsewhere.
I am a British-Canadian citizen and I was ashamed of Gatwick, an international airport serving millions of travellers from around the world. Something must be done about the thugs employed at the security scans. All the other airport employees we encountered were unfailingly pleasant and courteous.

Thank you for the opportunity to air our grievance anonymously.

Also heartless stupid people are employed there in security checks (in Gatwick). How can you imagine that they take away (and throw to the bin of course) a 200ml juice for your baby, good brand deducted to children? And explaining me that these are the rules of the Gatwick airport, while other airports may have different rules. I couldn't believe that, why the rules are sooooo stupid and even more stupid people who imply them like they were squeezed from the rest of their own brains! As far as I know all those stupid rules about liquids etc are to "protect" us from whatever imaginary dangers and after all we are actually deprived of basic comfort and having a choice what to give to drink to our child... Because of course after passing that wall of those heartless people-machines you are allowed to buy litters of alcohol, perfumes, juices, whatever, 10-20 kilo of goods making additional hand luggage or more and all is OK! Who will believe that it is for any kind of security? It's just to feel pockets of certain shop owners and just to mislead us that they we should be grateful for being able to fly not them for the opportunity of having their jobs and businesses because of us passengers.
What if suddenly all passengers would avoid Gatwick? We have many other choices concerning communication, especially in London area. Airport is the same kind of customer focused institutions like any others and passenger comfort should be a priority. It is really a shame for England known from very good customer service.

I'm saddened to hear about your experience. At the same time I'm relieved, since your story proves that I'm not the only one whos been humiliated and made to loose my flight.
2 days ago I was going to start the adventure of my life. 4 weeks of Pilgrimage on the St.James Road to Santiago de Compostella.
My flight to Biarritz was at 9.30, and carrying only handluggage, I was ready to enter Security Control at 7.25.
I was dismissed from even entering the zone due the supervisor whose incompetent eyes told her, that my handluggage was too big. Having measured and measured and measured, I knew that the size of my bag met their demands. I was made to wait for 20 min. before a securityofficer escorted me out of the area and put my bag into the exact same type og metalholder, which is close to the securitydesk. Of course it fitted, but I lost 20 minutes.
At the securityscan I was denied further access, because it wasnt believed that I was on a 4 weeks holiday carrying only handbagage.
After 25 minutes of waiting another authority came to the scene and split my backpack into pieces. Makeup was smashed, my clothing was all over the floor and was even walked upon.
Then I was dismissed from the securityzone and could only reenter if I threw away shampoo, showergel and lotion. (Why?)
But that was not good enough. I was held up for another 25 minutes, beeing grilled about my destination..why was I so late for check-in (!).
Is it necessary to telle that I lost my flight and had to fly back to Denmark the same day.
Gatwick security staff ruined the dreamholiday of my life, and I'm not going to another London Airport again.
