Default Travel into UK Trip Details, EEA Family Permit

Hi everyone

So i'm going through the online EEA Famly Permit application and it asks:

"You stated that you had travelled to the UK in the last 10 years.
Please provide details of all your trips to the UK over the last 10 years."

Do I include only the trips where I have spent time in the UK? Or would I need to include airport transfers also? For example, times when flying from Canada to Malta- we flew into Gatwick Airport then caught another flight same day on to Malta. Do I need to include that?

If you stayed airside, no. But if you did enter UK (and got your passport stamped), then yes, however briefly.

Are they only looking for dates and arrival airports then? Basically there is just enough room within the provided space for my trips to the UK, this is how I was going to enter them. Seem okay?

24/04/09- Gatwick airport from Canada, bus to Luton for flight to Malta. 09/05/09- arrived at Gatwick Airport from Luton Airport. 24/02/10-Gatwick airport from Canada, connecting flight to Malta. 29/09/11- Malta to Edinburgh. 27/12/11- Malta to Edinburgh

That's fine. Write on another sheet of paper if needed.
