Thought I would share yesterday's agreeable journey experience. This is how it should be.

Arrived at Gatwick by train 1402. Walked into South terminal, took transit to North Terminal, barely broke stride going through bag drop and security and was airside at 1430 for my flight due out at 1620. That took off late of course, nearly 40 ninutes late, but with the padded schedule arrived in Faro only 15 minutes late. No wait at all at passport control, bag arrived within 10 minutes, my pickup 5 minutes after that and I was home 1 hour and 10 minutes after landing.
