Title: London City Airport
Post by: admin on May 09, 2014, 10:19:04 AM
This day two months I'm flying into LCA. It's the only London airport I haven't been through, but as it's small (like Bristol or Knock) I'm expecting I should be able get through it fairly quickly and onto the DLR into town?

Anyone any advice?

Only been through it once but its brilliant. You'll be in and out in no time at all. So much better than all the other London airports. Be careful to keep your eye on the screens for your flight though, they don't make many announcements. IMO this is a great policy, makes the atmosphere much more relaxed. In fact the whole thing is more relaxed, its mostly professionals so they trust people to look after themselves.

The DLR is dead handy too. It'll bring you right into the tube in about 15 minutes.

I wish I could afford to always go through LCA.  :(

Cheers. Flight was €5 plus taxes, which brings it to €38! Very cheap for LCA.

:o

Thats hella different from the prices when I checked last. I live in cycling distance from LCA, but always have to fly home through a different one.

Will have to keep an eye on this.

Never think of using Cityjet to book flights to London, nice one! Just brought my eldest thru London last week for her first sightseeing trip we did LHR and Heathrow express which cost nearly as much as the plane tix :-(

It is on the tube though, which is handy. Its an option when Aerlingus are doing deals.
