London is served by multiple airports with distinct roles. Heathrow is the city’s primary international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers including full-service flag and global alliance airlines; it’s about 15–25 km west of central London with the Heathrow Express to Paddington taking around 15–20 minutes (farey range higher than typical public transit), the Tube (Piccadilly Line) taking roughly 45–60 minutes, and taxis or ride-shares often taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic. Gatwick operates as a major alternative for international and leisure carriers, around 45–60 km south of central London with a fast train to Victoria or London Bridge typically 30–40 minutes and coach options that can be cheaper but slower. Stansted and Luton generally serve more budget and charter airlines and low-cost carriers; both are 40–70 km from central London with frequent shuttle buses and trains taking roughly 30–60 minutes — usually the most wallet-friendly but sometimes less convenient for luggage or transfers. London City Airport is a small, business-oriented gateway close to Canary Wharf and the financial district (about 10 km east of the City), often preferred for short-haul business routes and quick transfers via DLR and Tube in 20–30 minutes. Pros across the network include wide choice of carriers and schedules; cons can include variable extra fees for low-cost airlines, longer transfer times from outer airports, and occasional congestion at peak times.

Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS) is the city’s main international gateway and typically serves as the hub for long-haul and European connections, with both full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines operating. The airport lies about 20–25 km east of central Lyon; the Rhônexpress tram usually links terminals to Perrache and Part-Dieu stations in roughly 30 minutes for fares that can be moderate compared with local transit, while taxis and rideshares often take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: relatively modern facilities and direct rail link to the city. Cons: can feel a bit distant and transfer costs add up for budget travelers. Public buses and car rental are common alternatives.
