a question about London airports

[ritaxis]

If you were going to fly in and out of London, and the price was the same either way you did it, would you choose Gatwick or Stansted? Those are the choices, and there is apparently only a fifteen minute difference in arrival or departure.

The passenger has no special destination in London -- he's jusgt messing around on his way to California and back to Prague.

(our cheapest places to fly in and out of appeared to be London, Shannon, Dublin, Nice, Manchester, Krakow, and Malaga, in that order. The easiest places for him to get to, he said, were London and Krakow. London's cheaper than Krakow. Also probably simpler to wander in for a few days, though also probably more expensive to hang around in)

on another front, I have deadheaded the front roses. The first bloon is just about over.

I can't speak for the London airports at all, never having used them, but Dublin is a pleasant airport and there are good train and bus connections into the city centre. I didn't get chance to do any sightseeing when I passed through on the way to Octocon, but I would like to go back some time.

I wouldn't totally rule out Manchester either if he wants to have a look at a typical British city that is not London. It also provides easy access to the Lake District and Peak District if he has a few days to kill.
