AGP to LGW: distance bands, operating airlines, connection choices and disruption evidence for this direction of travel.
Examples, not a daily timetable. Confirm the operating airline, airports and stops on your booking.
The great-circle distance between AGP and LGW is approximately 1,646 km, in the 1,500–3,500 km band. This endpoint calculation does not add detours. For a through connection, check the original departure and last ticketed destination before selecting a compensation band.
Málaga–Costa del Sol is AGP. Seville (SVQ), Granada (GRX) or Gibraltar (GIB) in a replacement offer changes the arrival airport and potentially the border arrangements. Keep the original Gatwick–AGP itinerary as the comparison; a destination name such as Costa del Sol is too broad.
AGP is an EU/EEA departure, so EU261 scope does not depend on the operating airline being European. For AGP–LGW, test the actual disruption and cause next. If another regime also applies, the same disruption is not an invitation to collect duplicate compensation.
The two directions have different starting points for the rules: Gatwick departure points to UK261, while Málaga departure starts within EU261 even on a UK airline. Avoid adding euro and pound awards for the same disruption. Keep any London-airport change and agreed onward transfer with the claim.
At Gatwick, North and South are separate terminals joined by a shuttle. The railway station is at South Terminal, so a train departure and an airline departure do not necessarily start in the same building.
