I imagine you have to be of high net worth to use City Airport.


You'd be surprised. Both European fares and those via AMS to wider
destinations, while not comparable with low-costs, are often similar
to or even lower than those from LHR direct.

Also it
is debatable whether Luton or Stanstead are actually in the London area.
The names are a product of London's self-obsession and the
international obsession with it.


This is true, though both are accessible to London and the lack of
hassle compared with using LHR make it worth going to them.
