Also wondered what the on-ground eating options are like given the quick flight time - is it worth eating proir to boarding or eat on board and have less sleep (i've got to go to work on return)
Finally - what are the F arrival facilities like at Gatwick. Is there a lounge / showers / breakfast etc....?
F and J arrival facilities are the same at Gatwick. They are hosted in the Sofitel (for BA and a few other airlines) that is adjacent to the North terminal. Follow the signs to the Sofitel, straight across the reception area and you'll find a lift down to the lounge.
Lounge is quite small but very comfortable. Showers / breakfast etc available. I was in there yesterday morning and found that the staff were great. It is a big improvement from when it was up on the 8th floor of the hotel.
