Gatwick is as convenient to get to and from as Heathrow for us in

But presumably Stansted is far better than either?


Yes, but with very limited destinations. Almost nothing outside Europe.
And even then, the last two European trips booked by household members
used different airports (in particular Gatwick for one on account of
route availability). And of course Stansted is famously no good for the
USA, although during the short periods when that continent was
available, we did use it.


I wouldn't say the destinations reachable from Stansted were "very
limited"...
