Hi Darren

Can you give me the destination you're travelling to with some dates. So far I can't find any details looking on either the Westjet website or the Gatwick Airport website.

The airport has a "which terminal section" on their website.

 

[finchy168]

Thank you.

It's to Calgary with WestJet on the 27th July.

Regards Darren.

 

[finchy168]

I have searched everywhere, it looks like a decision has not been made yet.

 

[Aviador]

Thanks finchy 168 that would explain why it's not listed anywhere yet.
