In message , at 19:33:48 on Tue, 2 Sep 2014, Arthur Figgis remarked: One of life's big ironies a few years back was a Which? report slagging off foreign airports that falsely claimed to be close to well known cities. In the same issue they gave "London Stansted" a ringing endorsement, despite being further from its eponymous city than any of the foreign airports they were complaining about. To a certain extent, distance is less important than transport links. A distant airport with a fast and easy-to-use train to the city centre every 30 min, perhaps even a mainline connection to anywhere in the country, is less of an issue than a edge-of-town airport with a solitary bus... Stansted is OK southbound to London, And as it isn't calling itself "(somewhere that isn't London) Stansted", there isn't really a problem in the case under discussion. Bremen airport sucks if you are hoping to get a tram from the front door to somewhere that isn't Bremen, but of you actually want Bremen then it's great. -- Arthur Figgis Surrey, UK |
