IMHO the Rail to Terminal interchange at Gatwick is about as good as
it gets. There is a frequent rail service to many destinations. The
platform overbridge leads directly into the terminal building.


Agreed, though Stansted is probably as good (though not in terms of
its service) - the station there is also right under the terminal.
Birmingham might well rank higher in terms of accessibility - you do
have to ride the people-mover thingy but it has a wider range of
destinations that aren't London (and not a bad service to London
either).

On the downside, the number of popular holiday destinations has actually
diminished. I often have to fly from Manchester.
