The force says the luggage was swiped while the owner was at the check-in area A in the South Terminal.
It is understood the culprit boarded a bus to Crawley and later attempted to use the stolen bank cards in the Langley Green area.
The man police wish to speak to is described as in his 30s, with a beard and wearing a dark blue jacket, blue jeans, black trainers and a dark or brown coloured baseball cap.
Inspector Mark Robinson said: “We are investigating a report of theft of luggage from the terminal area at London Gatwick while the victim was distracted.
“This was distressing for the victim, who was with his young family at the time and seeking to embark on a holiday ahead of a busy festive period.
“We are issuing CCTV images of a man we wish to speak with in connection with our enquiries, anyone who can identify him is asked to come forward.”
Anyone who has any information should contact Sussex Police online by quoting serial 1097 of 12/12.
