How to get to London


Nowadays it's possible to arrive in London, by airplane, for about 60euros round trip, with taxes included, in less then 2 hours.
The company that made this possible is the irish Ryanair that allows us to make reservations online saving time and money on the tradicional tickets (as they give us the reservation code that we have to show at the moment of the luggage check in). Even thought, ryanair lands in secondary airports, it's always a good choice.
You can get the lowest fares, by buying online with about 3 weeks in advance (choose the find the lowest fare link).

London has 5 airports Heathrow, Luton, Stansted, Gatwick and City.


Ryanair lands in Luton and Stansted Airport.
If you land in the Stansted airport, that is 50km from the city centre, you have 2 options: the train or the bus.
If you choose the train you can get to the city centre in 45 minutes with the "Stansted Express" and the ticket costs about 25£ (37,5€) round trip. They have departures every 15 minutes.
If you choose the cheapest way then you're going with the "Terravision" buses that can get you in the centre in about 1 hour and 15 minutes for only 8£. Make your reservation online so you can get discounts and save time.
The trains depart on the lower floor of the airport (-2) and the buses leave in the -1 floor.
