If you have ever flown into, or out of London, then you will know that neither Heathrow (LHR) or Gatwick (LGW) Airports are actually in London. Nor is Stansted (STN), or Luton (LTN).
LGW, STN and LTN are all 25 – 30 miles outside of London, LHR is a little closer. (I’ve excluded London City Airport (LCY) from here as although its in the heart of the London Docklands it can only accommodate STOL (Short Take Off Landing) aircraft so has a limited short haul reach.
Transit time from airport to city the world over can be a surprise if you don’t research.
Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL) to India Gate, New Delhi? - Seven miles
Lisbon Airport to Lisbon waterfront? – Three miles
San Francisco (SFO) Airport to Fisherman’s Wharf? – Thirteen miles. Stretching it a little, but still an easy trundl away.
Choose your airport carefully and trundling along comfortably at your destination can make all the difference to to a leisurely break.
Lisbon - Airport 3 miles north!
