London and Britain's second airport, Gatwick actually serves more destinations than Heathrow (200 in all) but is considered the smaller cousin of Heathrow. Around 33 million passengers a year make their way through passport control and is popular for shorter haul flights to European destinations such as Malaga, Amsterdam and Geneva.
