No. *Flying into *Heathrow* is, by any reasonable definition, hell.
There are, however, many other airports in the London area, and all of
them are orders of magnitude better.

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

I'm flying from Zurich to City in the summer. It was something like 20
quid more expensive than BA to Luton. Once you'd factored in the train
fare, it was only about a tenner more, and it's so much easier to get home
from there that it's worth it.

In the past I have flown into City Airport from Edinburgh very
economically. This was in 2002. The downside was the poor transit
conections. It was a pain to reach the Jubilee Line.
