Newest Review: ... City airport. It is very compact, with one entrance for arrivals and departures, and still, it has a good daily volume. There are 10 different gates and they are used most of the time Once you enter the hall you will go to the designed check in desk on your right. I use Swissair a lot, there is also Air france. If you fly with Swissair, the queue in business sis short. They always call the ... more

Personally I think that City airport is a very good and efficient airport, but I am not sure if it will be able to maintain the current level of standard. City airport is in the East of London and the best way to get there is from Bank via DLR, you cannot miss it since the station is called City airport.

After few years of air travel from Heathrow and Gatwick, I had developped a strong feeling of reject for the UK airport. Even luton, which in my view is too far, and Stanstead, did not impress me. It came as a pleasant surprize to fly from City airport. I have recently started a new position in my company and there is a lot of liasion with our office in Zurich, and to a minor degree in Geneve. I have been flying to Switzerland from City airport and the first time I arrived there I could not believe that in less than 15 minutes I had been dropped from my cab and I was already drinking an orange juice in the hall!! The best way to go to ...

Flying out or into London is not pleasant. I have Heathrow, and also the regional airports are surely not a pleasant experience. When I fly on business, I try to go via Gatwick as opposed to Heathrow, whenever possible. However, City airport is a different experience and is surely my favourite airport. It is called City Airport, but it is not exactly in the City of Lonodn. IT IS LOCATED IN Docklands and now that I am working at Canary Warf, it is a no brainer that this is by far the closest airport to my office. CHECK IN Once you arrive at the airport, you will find that there is only 1 terminal, you walk through the glass doors and you ...
