Heathrow (LHR) is London’s largest international hub and typically handles long-haul and premium carriers alongside many global alliances, so flights can be pricier compared with regional alternatives. It sits about 15–25 miles west of central London (roughly 30–60 minutes by road depending on traffic). Main transfers include the Heathrow Express to Paddington (about 15–20 minutes, usually higher fares), the Elizabeth Line and Piccadilly Line Underground (35–60 minutes, mid-to-lower fares), plus taxis and app rides that can take longer. Pros: extensive amenities, many nonstop routes and frequent transfer options. Cons: can be busy, security queues and surface transport costs can be higher.
Gatwick (LGW) functions as a major international and leisure gateway, often serving a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers; fares can be competitive for European and holiday routes. It’s located about 25–35 miles south of central London, with typical transfer times of 30–45 minutes by Gatwick Express to Victoria (faster but usually pricier) or 30–60 minutes via Southern and Thameslink trains and coach services. Road transfers and taxis take longer and vary by traffic. Pros: strong schedule for short- and medium-haul routes, good rail links. Cons: smaller than the largest hub, can feel congested at peak times.
Stansted (STN) is traditionally a budget and short-haul focus airport, commonly used by low-cost carriers for European routes; tickets there can often be more affordable but ancillary fees should be expected. It lies about 35–50 miles northeast of central London; Stansted Express to Liverpool Street typically takes around 45–50 minutes (moderate fares), while coaches and buses can take longer at lower cost. Road travel varies with congestion. Pros: many low-cost connections and efficient check-in for some carriers. Cons: farther from the centre, transfer costs and times can add to total trip price.
Luton (LTN) serves mainly low-cost and charter airlines and is usually a budget-oriented option for London-bound travellers. Located roughly 30–40 miles northwest of central London, typical journeys include shuttle buses to Luton Airport Parkway and onward trains to St Pancras (overall 35–60 minutes) or direct coaches to central locations which can be cheaper but slower. Taxis are available but more expensive. Pros: plentiful budget flights and straightforward bus links. Cons: limited long-haul service and extra transfers sometimes required.
London City (LCY) is a compact, business-oriented airport positioned close to Canary Wharf and the financial district; it usually caters to short-haul and corporate services with a focus on convenience over volume. It’s about 6–9 miles east of central London, often around 20–30 minutes by Docklands Light Railway (DLR) and Tube, with taxis taking similar or slightly shorter times depending on traffic. Pros: very convenient for business travellers and short transfers, streamlined procedures. Cons: limited route network and aircraft size restrictions can mean fewer options and higher fares for some destinations.
Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA) is the city’s main international gateway, serving a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost airlines on short- and medium-haul routes across Europe. Located about 7–8 km west of the historic center, it is relatively close to downtown but has a compact footprint that can feel busy during peak times. Surface connections include regional train and shuttle bus services to Principe or Brignole stations (roughly 20–30 minutes) and taxis or rideshares that typically take 15–25 minutes depending on traffic; expect modest fares compared with larger hubs. The airport is convenient for quick access to the city and the nearby coast, though its smaller size can mean fewer lounge and shopping options than major international hubs.
