We are flying from Inverness to London on easyJet, arriving at Gatwick at 8:45 am. From there we want to transfer to a flight from London (Gatwick) to Dublin, and we are trying to decide how much time to allot for this transition. We are not checking any bags. Again, we'll be flying in on an easJet flight from Inverness and transferring to a Ryanair flight to Dublin. We notice easyJet flies into the South terminal and Ryan Air flies out of the North Terminal. Apparently this is just a 5 minute transit between terminals, but since these are two different airlines and two different terminals, do we have to basically start from scratch in the check-in and security process? Or, since we won't have any checked bags, can we just transfer to the different terminal without going through security again? Before we purchase the tickets we need to know how much time to reasonably allow to transfer flights? One option allows 50 minutes. The other option is about 3 hours. It's obvious which option we'd prefer, if its realistic.
Thanks for your help!
