Doesn’t it depend where in London? For example I’d rather ride the Gatwick Express from Victoria for 30 minutes than sit on the tube from Kings Cross to Heathrow for an hour. And outside of London, from Cambridge for example, there is non-stop train service available to Gatwick but not to Heathrow.

It’s too bad Norwegian shuttered their long haul service between Gatwick and NYC/BOS. It was affordable, comfortable and convenient, so of course it went bankrupt. Now the best options are out of Heathrow (my favorite is now British Air, as long as AA isn’t operating the flight…).




Check out Norse, basically the same flights as Norwegian had.


This is great, exact same model and everything. I hope they come back to my city (Austin), it was insane what they did for price competition in the area (generally sliced the cost to get to Europe in half) and generally had better quality of service. My favorite part was being able to order food and beverages a-la-carte from the IFE console. It's so much more efficient for both the customers and the staff to do it that way.


But starting in November you can reach Heathrow from Central London in 30 minutes.
