I do use LGW a lot less now since they stopped the BA flights to Spain. Also stopped doing Ex-AMS flights since the rise of the Euro so hopping over to AMS less these days (and find LCY easier to use if I am getting a flight to/from AMS).
I tend to avoid Easyjet so hardly use LGW. Shame as I do not get to see SRG in action.
LGW did improve when BAA left and I am said not to use it as much; if at all. When I was last at LGW N, security was far better than at T5 for sure and that was without FastTrack even.
