Last winter we put out a simple question to our readers: What was Europe’s worst airport?
We got loads of responses, most of which you can read here, underneath the original feature:
Lonely Planet is now asking much the same question too, on its blog.
We stick to our original choice: Heathrow is to be avoided if at all possible. Having used it a number of times this year we can vouch for the fact that it has not improved.
We would add, however, that we have discovered a truly great airport this year: London City. Small, close to central London (with great transport connections courtesy of the Docklands Light Railway), flights are never delayed and you can turn up just 20 minutes or so before your flight leaves.
Try that at Heathrow.
