London is served by several distinct airports, each catering to different traveler needs. Heathrow is the city’s primary international hub and is typically used by full-service carriers and many long-haul flights; it’s about 15–25 miles west of central London, with the Heathrow Express taking roughly 15–20 minutes to Paddington (usually the fastest, higher-fare option), the Elizabeth Line offering 25–35 minutes at mid-range fares, and London Underground and buses providing cheaper but slower links. Gatwick, a major international and leisure gateway south of the city, often hosts both full-service and low-cost airlines; it’s around 25–30 miles from central London with Gatwick Express trains in about 30 minutes and coach services taking longer for less cost. Stansted and Luton are commonly positioned as budget-friendly airports serving many low-cost carriers; they’re farther out (roughly 30–50 miles), with trains or coaches into central London taking 35–60 minutes depending on the route and price. City Airport is smaller and geared toward business travelers, close to Canary Wharf (around 6–8 miles) with the Docklands Light Railway offering quick connections. Pros include wide airline choice and frequent services; cons can be longer transfers, variable fees for public transport, and differing levels of on-site comfort depending on the airport.
Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and the smaller Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta functions as the country’s main international hub, handling most long-haul and full-service carriers as well as regional flights; it can be perceived as mid- to upper-range on price compared with regional alternatives. The airport sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with taxis or app-based rides typically taking 25–45 minutes depending on traffic and costing roughly USD 10–25; airport shuttles and private transfers are also common. Pros: wide route network, full passenger facilities and many transfer options. Cons: can be busy and subject to Nairobi’s heavy road congestion. Wilson Airport, located around 6–8 km from downtown, is the city’s primary domestic and light-charter base, favored by regional and bush-flight operators; travel times to central Nairobi are usually 15–30 minutes and fares for local transfers are generally lower. Pros: quick access to short-haul flights and less crowded terminals. Cons: limited international connectivity and fewer amenities compared with Jomo Kenyatta.
