The airport sits about 20 km east of the city center, with the suburban rail and metro linking to central Syntagma in roughly 30–40 minutes and fares usually in the low–mid range for public transit; taxis can take 30–60 minutes depending on traffic and are commonly metered with a higher fare. Ground transport also includes regional buses and private shuttles. Pros: modern facilities, frequent connections and efficient public links.

It sits about 15–25 km west of central London; the Heathrow Express can reach Paddington in around 15–20 minutes, while the London Underground’s Piccadilly Line takes roughly 45–60 minutes — fares can be higher for express services and lower for tube or buses. Pros: extensive amenities, many lounges and transfers; cons: can be busy with longer security and transfer times and generally higher prices for parking and some services. Gatwick (LGW) functions as a major international and leisure gateway, often serving a mix of full-service and many low-cost carriers. Located roughly 40–50 km south of central London, Gatwick Express trains take about 30 minutes to Victoria, with slower Southern and Thameslink services typically 30–45 minutes; coach and taxi options are available with variable journey times and fares.

Stansted (STN) is usually positioned as a primary base for low-cost and European short-haul carriers, catering largely to budget-conscious passengers. It lies around 50–70 km northeast of central London; Stansted Express trains reach Liverpool Street in about 45–50 minutes, while coach services and roads can take longer depending on traffic — fares are typically lower than express rail but vary with providers. Pros: budget-friendly flight options and efficient check-in for point-to-point travel; cons: fewer long-haul routes and longer transfers to central London compared with Heathrow.
