It takes 20 minutes as long as you walk along perimeter road and walk into building up lift and you are in departure lounge. Simple. Enjoy your holiday

It will take approx 10mins to park (no traffic) and 25 mins walk for South or 35 for North terminals plus 10min to get to your departure gate.

Do some research on google maps before doing the walk South Terminal is easy if you get onto perimeter road, North terminal again on perimeter road has a few turns and no path right at the end.

If you drop off passengers first at drop off points follow the roundabout signs for A23 Crawley to get on to London Road for the MC.

it's not free you have to pay something like £1 a day to their charity (basically free though lol)

Vic will send you details of cab companies, I used Uber because I had free £10 credit, if you want I can give you my referral code and you'll get £10 credit, the journey is something like £8

There's also the Fastway bus service which operates through the Manor Royal district to the airport. No idea of numbers or times other than they are quite regular.
