    Really helpful tips Jess. Especially the Google Maps search for available transit into London. Just used that one myself this summer when I was there. Great job! Thanks! Love and cheers! 👍♥️😘🇬🇧

    I live in Switzerland, the best airport for us is definitely City because it’s much smaller which means that you spend less time going through the airport. For everybody who can get a flight there, I definitely recommend it.

    Honestly the airport question is more complex than you'd imagine. Heathrow is easily accessible but flights are pricier and the place is so massive that you have to factor in walking time. also if your Flight is delayed you may wait a while since slots are so tight. Gatwick is Good option with cheap flights (Easyjet goes from here) and good connections to Victoria (just don't Take the gatwick express). you can travel to gatwick by train pretty much 24h if you plan ahead, so late and early flights are possible. London City Airport is convenient but pricey. few amenities but usually if you fly from here you don't want to spend any length of time at the Airport anyway. Stansted is a good option for cheap flights. amenities have come a long way in recent years. Stansted Express is a bit pricey but if the flight was cheap it may be worth it. would avoid late and early flights to stansted as it's a pain to get to by coach (but doable if you have time and money is tight). I have never used Luton as to me it's just too far.

      Week ago arrived/departed Luton very easily, spending around 5-10min. from plane to bus and 10-15min from bus to gate incl. luggage inspection (mugs caught their attention?). On way back arrived 45mins later bc of traffic accident on motorway and still had time to shop after security check - despite horrors I've read on internets about megacrowds at Luton, spending hours queueing. Not sure if I lucked out or Luton has grown for better. Gatwick is easier to reach but now it seems to be operated by hackers, flying drones and taking over flight control system.

    Great video! From experiencing both major ones: Gatwick is easiest for flying into and clearing customs (on non-peak days) and Heathrow was the easiest to fly out of. Got there 3 hours early, was through check-in and security in 30 min.

      Which days are peak days?

    • @loveandlondon
      @loveandlondon  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Interesting take Tyler. There's not really such a thing as "peak days" or hours for customs because there is so much variation in when flights arrive, and who is on the flights (EU or not, for ex.) I've waited for 5 minutes and also over an hour at both airports. The only "peak" time I would say is the summer, generally speaking. And I personally have never waited more than 10 minutes to get through security at either airport-- it's amazing and I'm so spoiled by it now!

    • @loveandlondon

      There isn't really such a think Marielle. You can't really avoid long lines at customs.

    • @Tgogators

      I was meaning peak season. But even off season there are times where non EU custona gets backed up if 2 or more fights come in at the same time etc.

      Talardu svenska, The Council has issued a Press Release (01/02/19 1025 am 55/19) and the Political Declaration accompanying the Withdrawal Text (both published 25 November 2018) seem to point to visa-free travel for short stays. According to a Press Release issued by The Home Office (our Interior ministry) on 28 January 2019 in the event of a no deal EU nationals will still be able to travel visa-free to the UK for short stays. A short stay seems to be defined as 90 days in any 180 days. The Home Office no deal plans seems to indicate that EU nationals can stay in the UK for a maximum 3 months. I don't think you will notice much difference with flights to and from the UK. I believe in the event of a no deal exit UK flagged carriers won't be able to operate intra-EU flights. All this is of course is subject to ongoing negotiations, but that said I have just booked holiday to Berlin in July and so far we've not been notified by Ryanair that we need visas...
