Default Easier - Stanstead or Luton to London

I'm heading to the Westminster area of London next week and I have the
option of flying into either Stanstead or Luton. Which airport has the
better rail links to this part of London? By "better" I mean
easier/faster and/or cheaper.


Hi, Pete. Stanstead is easier, because the station is part of the
airport buildings. From Luton, you have to take a bus from the airport
to the station.

Yeah - that makes all the difference. The luton shuttle bus makes timing
your journey difficult. Also, there are no "Luton Express" services (yet),
so you have to use regular trains, and that involves making sure it stops at
the right station, and whether it's a fast train, or a stopping service (get
the wrong one, and you've added 20/30 mins to your trip).

If you have a choice, Stanstead all the way.
