If you aren't familiar with London Gatwick Airport, then you should be! Especially for your next European trip.
Gatwick is a smaller London-area airport compared to Heathrow (it's akin to Laguardia near New York City or Burbank near Los Angeles) but it often has direct international flights from the U.S. and throughout other major cities in Europe. And it's just as easy to get to and from London town via the Gatwick Express train.
Another bonus? For families, there's a Kids Zone at the South Terminal (near the Easyjet gates) that's free to use and hang around in. The zone is simple but we like the soft mats everywhere, the easy in and out, and of course, the tropical vibes. Read more about Gatwick's services for families here.
