So over time it may "de-BA" a bit as these media buys run out. From what I've seen at T5 it's a favourite activity of Virgin and Emirates to buy them to show BA passengers what they are missing!
Theres a combination of locations in use here which are both part of the standard fit advertising locations and nonstandard locations which are likely to have been more permanently allocated, but Indont expect them to last forever.
One noticeable new ides I haven't seen before is that the white spaces over the signage towards check in appears to have been given to BA all the way down to their check in area. I've got a picture which I'll add later.
The travelator and "welcome" advertising areas seem to alternate between an external advertiser and airlines so these won't last forever but they won't be the last - purely based on what I've seen, I think Gatwick have a say in who gets to advertise where.
Thanks to c-w-s for the mentions on this thread! I will post my pictures and updates a little later today 🙂
