Pickup from your door
From Bracknell the 50-minute drive means a pickup around 3 hours before a short-haul flight is a safe choice: about 2 hours 15 minutes is left at the airport once you arrive. For long-haul, add another hour. You are collected from your home, hotel or office, help with bags is included, and child seats cost nothing extra. Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, linked by a free shuttle train that takes about two minutes. Check which one your airline uses when you book, so you are dropped at the right door.

On the way home from Gatwick to Bracknell, the driver follows your flight's real landing time and meets you at the arrivals meeting point of the North or South Terminal. You get 60 minutes of free waiting from landing, and airport parking is included. Selecting "Return" when you book covers both legs and takes a discount off the return.
