Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) functions as the region’s main international gateway but also serves a strong mix of low-cost and leisure carriers, so fares can be competitive compared with larger hubs. It’s located about 15 km southeast of Cologne’s city center, with S-Bahn and regional trains taking roughly 15–20 minutes to central stations; local buses and taxis are alternatives, with taxi rides typically around 20–35 minutes depending on traffic. Rental cars are readily available on-site. Pros: generally compact terminals and quick transfer times for regional connections; cons: limited long-haul options and peak-season crowds on budget routes. Public-transport fares are modest, while taxis and car hire vary by provider.

London is served by several airports with distinct roles. Heathrow is the city’s main international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers (full-service flag and global alliances); it sits about 24 km west of central London and is usually reachable by the Elizabeth Line or Heathrow Express in roughly 15–30 minutes (fares vary, often higher for express services) or by the London Underground/road in 40–60 minutes. Gatwick, south of the city, is often positioned as a large mixed carrier airport with both leisure and scheduled international services; it’s roughly 45 km from central London with train options (30–40 minutes via express services) and coach services at lower cost. Stansted and Luton generally function as budget/low-cost carrier bases for short- and medium-haul flights; both can be 35–70 km from central London depending on route, with shuttle trains or coaches typically taking 30–60 minutes at comparatively lower fares. London City Airport is a compact, convenience-focused option within the Docklands area, about 11 km east of the city center and usually favored by business travelers for short transfer times (10–20 minutes by DLR or taxi) though it can be more expensive and has strict aircraft restrictions. Pros across the network include frequent connections and plentiful onward transport; cons can include variable transfer costs, peak-time congestion, and differing levels of comfort and amenities depending on the airport.
