UK Airports

People who stereotype and associate the UK with miserable weather, warm beer, terrible food and industrial overload don’t really know what they’re missing. The cities are alive, the history unending, the countryside is beautiful and the nightlife unbeatable - the UK really is an all-in-one holiday destination.

The UK has plenty of airports, with six airports in London alone, all of which handle international flights. Every part of the UK is accessible, with Bristol International Airport serving the southwest, Birmingham International Airport serving the Midlands and Inverness International Airport providing access to Scottish territory. The UK has a good public transport network, yet transportation can get very congested, especially around rush hour times. A convenient alterative for long journeys is to travel by air.

London Heathrow International Airport is one of the busiest and best airports in the world, handling in excess of 60-million passengers per year through its four efficient terminals. It is a hub for Europe and has flights to hundreds of destinations operated by scores of carriers from all four corners of the globe. Trains connect with the London Underground network, while buses run to points across the city and beyond, and taxis are in abundance.

Gatwick International Airport is located south of London and is the UK’s second busiest airport, handling more than 30-million passengers a year. There are two terminals (North and South) that are joined by a free monorail service. Hundreds of destinations worldwide are accessible from Gatwick with a multitude of airlines. Trains, buses, shuttles and taxis connect the airport with London and the south of the country.

Edinburgh International Airport is Scotland’s chief airport that is located conveniently near to the capital and handles in excess of seven-million passengers per year. Flights mostly go to destinations in the UK and Europe, from its single, efficient terminal. Regular buses run from outside the terminal to all points in the city including railway stations, while taxis are always on call.

Cardiff International Airport is Wales’ number one airport and it is an easy to navigate facility, with flights to destination across Europe and the UK. Cardiff International handles about 1.5-million passengers per year and is located only a few miles from the capital. Buses provide transport link to the city.
