We are flying into Gatwick on Tuesday morning and have a 4 hour layover until our flight to Italy. Are there showers at Gatwick that we can take advantage of? We are Admiral's Club Members, but there is no AC at Gatwick. Thanks.

Yes, Gatwick has showers (that are not part of a membership lounge), per the BAA website:

BAA

But I can't remember exactly where (and the website is not specific either). This website below gives more info on showers in both north and south terminals...hopefully this is up to date:

Have a good trip

What airline are you connecting to?? If it's British Airways, as an Admirals Club member you have they use of their facilities at Gatwick. Also, if you are flying business or first, you have the use of their 1st class lounge (at least that's where they sent us last year on our layover). Here is the place you can find admission information for their lounges:

I believe the 1st class lounge has shower facilities.

Suzanne, We are flying coach, but connecting with British Airways. We were told that we could only use the club if we were first or business, but what you have told me is encouraging. Does anyone know for sure if we can use the BA Lounge flying coach?

Thought you might be flying AA since I noticed your Ft. Worth location. We were flying business last year, my husband is a 2MM AAdvantage Platinum member and has sapphire Oneworld level. So, I'm not sure which of these got us into the 1st Class BA Lounge. He is not an Admiral's Club member.

You might need to look a little further into this on either the American, BA, or Oneworld Alliance websites. If you don't find the information you need on any of these, I would just call either American and/or BA and ask.
