Each airport operates flights of different companies and with different schedules and prices, so we recommend that you compare what it would cost you to fly to one airport or another before buying your tickets, since the savings can be important.Currently, most people who travel to London usually do so with low-cost companies, such as Ryanair or Easyjet, as they increasingly offer more flights from the main airports in Spain, although if you travel from Madrid or Barcelona, ​​you can also fly with British Airways even if it costs a little more.Any of the airports has direct connections to central London, but except for London City Airport and Heathrow, the others are outside of London's transport areas, so it is not possible to reach the center by subway.When you are clear about which airports you can fly from your city, remember to check the different options to get to your hotel if you have several options, to make sure that the transport from the airport to the hotel is as simple as possible.
