Best Answer

You say that you are arriving in Gatwick from Spain with Easyjet. According to Gatwick Airport's official site (link below) Easyjet passengers transferring flights at Gatwick have to pass through Immigration.

Quote: "Please note that all easyJet passengers must follow option 2, even if you are travelling with hand luggage only."

Option 2 reads: "2. If your hold bags are not through checked, you must collect them at Gatwick. Follow signs to Baggage Reclaim – you will need to pass through Passport Control on your way – and then either use our free GatwickConnects service or proceed to the check-in desk for your next flight."

Fly on a single ticket when you need to connect flights Typically, any connecting itinerary you arrange on a single ticket conforms with whatever connecting times apply.
