Why take the bus?
Let's flip that question around and ask, why not take all those other ways of getting to Gatwick Airport? Firstly, your own car. Yes, it's super convenient (after all, it's right outside your front door), but consider that parking at Gatwick Airport is in very high demand and expensive too. That's going to eat into your holiday money.
Okay, how about a taxi? Well, again, that's going to make a big dent in your travel finances, with the average taxi fare from Brighton to Gatwick Airport costing around £50-£70. The train is an obvious choice, but before booking that ticket, consider that there's no guarantee you'll get a seat.
With the bus, you get a guaranteed seat, door-to-door convenience, and a low ticket price, regardless of when you travel. Let someone else do the driving while you sit back, relax, and plug into the onboard Wi-Fi to watch a couple of YouTube videos as you speed towards Gatwick.

How much luggage can I take?
You don't need to 'pack light' because there's a generous luggage allowance when you travel to and from the airport by coach. Take one bag or suitcase measuring 75x50x32cm and weighing up to 20kg to put in the luggage compartment.
Keep all your travel essentials with you in a carry-on bag of 45x35x20cm.
At the airport
The coach from Brighton to Gatwick Airport stops at both the North and South terminals, so it's important to check which terminal your flight is leaving from when you book your bus ticket. Buses for the North Terminal stop outside the Arrivals Concourse, while buses for the South Terminal take you to the Arrivals Concourse, with stops 1-5 located at the Lower Forecourt.
Our top tip is to leave at least three hours before your flight is due to leave to clear check-in and security. After you've done the official bits, enjoy a couple of hours in the airport relaxing in the lounge, grabbing a bite to eat in one of the cafés or restaurants, or treating yourself to something special from the Duty-Free shop.
Gatwick also has plenty of services, including ATMs and restrooms. For passengers with mobility issues, the airport is wheelchair friendly.
