sunskippy10 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hi need to fly to scotland after 5pm rush hour madness and wondered what the best airport would be to go to. Cant seem to find a map with them located on and the areas to work it out properly. Doh!Thanks Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/9957-re-airport-nearest-to-greenwich-but-not-city-airport/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveo Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Stansted isn't nearest but it might be quickest Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/9957-re-airport-nearest-to-greenwich-but-not-city-airport/#findComment-295892 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruffers Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Why not City? Bear in mind you can check in about half an hour before take off, the amount of time you'd save on both the journey to the airport and the hanging around time's going to be at least an hour and probably more.

sniffy Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 ^Only downer about City is limited options on flight times and higher premium for the flight.Compared to Gatwick/Standstead for eg.

ruffers Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hear what you're saying and if it's too dear fair enough. Don't forget to factor in the price of Stanstead Express or Gatwick or whatever, how much your time's worth, and whether you're actually going to end up at an airport remotely near the city you're visiting!

rememberwhen Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Probably the cheapest way to get to London airports is the Easy Bus service from Victoria.Like all Easy services the price goes up as the time shortens, so check the price and reserve asap Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/9957-re-airport-nearest-to-greenwich-but-not-city-airport/#findComment-295966 Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutOfFocus Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Have you thought of Greenwich to London Bridge to Gatwick. Avoids paying for xxx express.

sniffy Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 ^that's a VERY good suggestion Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/9957-re-airport-nearest-to-greenwich-but-not-city-airport/#findComment-296134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Palaeologus Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 That would be my suggestion. Make sure you get a ticket that allows you to travel on bith Thames Link and Southern trains though, they both go to Gatwick and you can buy a ticket that lets you use both services.

Just so you know. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/9957-re-airport-nearest-to-greenwich-but-not-city-airport/#findComment-296222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
