London is served by a cluster of airports that cater to different traveler needs. Heathrow is the city’s main international hub, typically handling long-haul and premium carriers and often seen as pricier for transfers; it sits about 25 km west of central London and is reachable by the Heathrow Express (15–25 minutes, usually higher fares), the Elizabeth Line or Piccadilly Line (30–60 minutes, wider fare range) and taxis or rideshares (variable time and cost). Gatwick, 45 km south, is a major international and leisure gateway used by a mix of full-service and low-cost airlines; the Gatwick Express takes around 30 minutes to Victoria, while trains and coaches offer cheaper but slower options. London City Airport is the closest to downtown (about 10 km) and typically serves business-focused short-haul routes with quick DLR connections to the financial districts (around 20–30 minutes) and convenient taxi links. Stansted and Luton are usually positioned as budget and charter-oriented airports farther out (35–65 km) with frequent coach and train links; they can be more affordable for low-cost carriers but add longer transfer times (commonly 40–70 minutes). Each airport balances trade-offs: Heathrow and Gatwick often provide more amenities and frequent long-haul schedules, City is most convenient for business travelers, and Stansted/Luton are commonly cheaper on fares but less convenient for central transfers.

Ningbo Lishe International Airport (NGB) serves as the city’s main international and domestic gateway, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines on regional routes and some international services. It is usually positioned as a mid-sized hub for Zhejiang province rather than a major global transfer point. The airport sits about 20–25 km west of Ningbo city center; taxis and ride-hailing typically take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, costing roughly CNY 60–120, while the airport express bus reaches downtown in about 45–70 minutes for fares commonly in the CNY 10–30 range. Pros: generally modern facilities and direct links to regional destinations; cons: limited long-haul frequency and peak-hour road congestion can lengthen transfers.
