London is served by several distinct airports, each with a different role. Heathrow is the city’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s typically pricier but offers the greatest range of destinations. Transfers to central London take about 15–60 minutes depending on mode — the Heathrow Express is fastest (about 15–20 minutes to Paddington, higher fares), while the London Underground (Piccadilly Line) and frequent buses are cheaper alternatives (around 45–60 minutes). Gatwick operates as a major secondary hub with a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines; the Gatwick Express or train runs 30–40 minutes to Victoria, with standard rail or coach options often cheaper. Stansted and Luton tend to be budget-oriented airports popular with low-cost carriers; journeys to central London are usually 35–75 minutes by coach or train depending on connections, with generally lower ticket costs but longer transfer times. London City Airport sits closest to the financial districts and is geared toward business travelers and short-haul services; it’s typically 15–30 minutes to Canary Wharf or the City by Docklands Light Railway and Elizabeth Line connections, often commanding a premium for convenience. Pros across the network include broad destination choice and frequent ground links; cons can include variable fares, longer transfer times from some airports, and busy terminals at peak times.

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is Nairobi’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers like Kenya Airways alongside a mix of long-haul and regional airlines. It’s located about 15 km southeast of the city centre, with road transfers typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxi and ride‑hail fares can vary and airport shuttle buses or hotel transfers are common options. The airport generally offers more comfort, lounges and duty‑free shopping but can be busy during peak times. For budget travelers, Wilson Airport (WIL) serves mostly domestic and light‑aircraft regional flights, located roughly 5 km south of downtown with short 15–30 minute transfers; small shuttles and taxis are usual and fares are typically lower. Wilson is convenient for quick domestic connections but has limited facilities compared with the international airport.
