Has anyone use London city airport?

Hi there,


Does anyone regularly use London City airport? I only have tried to once and the flight was cancelled due to fog. It was an early morning flight... I?m wondering whether to chance it and fly back to city airport from Zurich in Wednesday afternoon...


If anyone flies regularly can let me know that would be great! Other option is Heathrow but it?s so far from a Dulwich.


Thanks!

I've done Zurich from LCY too. I think LCY is also a lovely little airport and would use it more often if more flights from it went to where I want to go and the prices were a bit lower too. The BA flights do free food as well - I think the only BA short haul flights that do so now.

Really convenient but more affected by the weather. Have had one flight cancelled (fog, all airports affected in the SE), and poorly handled by Flybe. On longish delay - oh Flybe again. And one where I had to get shifted to Stansted. Others fine, and very short check in times.

City gets slightly more affected by weather (fog / smog) than most of the other "London" airports due to the river and the nearby buildings. That said, it's a lovely little airport, nice and small, easy and quick to get through security and baggage. Baggage is brilliant there because the vast majority of people flying to & from there are business-people so usually only a carry-on briefcase, it means very little queuing at baggage reclaim!


Has anyone flown to Jersey from City Airport? How long did it take and are the seats comfortable? I am on the 'larger size' and find my knees are pressed into the seat in front.


Flight time is about 75 minutes and seat size is a function of the plane, not the aiport! Go for the emergency exit seats or Row 1, they have more legroom. Flybe use Embraer 175 and 195 on the City - Jersey route.

have flown from Gatwick to Poland but found it extremely busy and can get confusing at times when they change gates at last minute. Since Jersey is only a short hop thought it might be easier to go from. We tend to bus it to East Croydon then get train.

    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
    • > however I know I will have to prove it and provide a receipt,  both I can't provide. So what leads you to say that the dustmen have done damage to it?
