Not surprisingly flights from London City tend to focus on European business destinations such as Frankfurt and Zurich, although a small range of leisure routes have opened up in recent years. London City is also the only airport in the UK currently offering business class-only flights to New York.

James Says

I don't think you can beat flying down the Thames from the west end of London and into City Airport. The list of landmarks you'll see if you are lucky enough to be sitting on the left side of the plane is endless.

Mark Says

I recently flew from Rotterdam to London City and timed how long it took from the moment we touched down until I was standing on the DLR platform. I thought I would have been slowed down by having luggage in the hold, but I still managed it in just seven minutes. Mind you, all my good work was undone by forgetting to swipe my Oyster Card before getting on the train. The ticket inspector chose not to fine me, instead telling me to get off at the next stop, swipe my card and get on the next train, losing me a precious ten minutes!
