Pod0509 Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 I´m coming with Luxair from Luxembourg by plane , and I think my journey on the underground to my hotel the Novotel which is close to the convention is longer than my flight XD , I arrive at London City Airport and that is quite a journey to Hammersmith station from there. But "unfortunately" Luxair was for once the cheapest flight, which is like well never, but yeah London City, with BA to Heathrow would have been closer but was 100 euro more expensive. You will love LCY airport. It's small and mainly a business airport so the people going through the airport know what they are doing and do it everyday. It is nice an quick to get through. A lot less stressful than somewhere like Heathrow. It will just take a bit more time to navigate the DLR and tube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomeroSavini Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 18 hour bus journey wow.... Impressive! Mind you I am coming from Newcastle (Upon Tyne). On the fabulous £4.50 return MEGABUS! Takes up to 9 hours and hey under a fiver! Talk about a bargain to travel 600 miles haha Still it can be hell on earth on this bus.

That´s good to hear, normally I arrived always at Heathrow and also at Stansted, LCY is a first this time, but good because ID check always takes so long at Heathrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke2063 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 We're coming from Portsmouth, so only an hour/two away, but we're heading up straight from our wedding reception on the Friday, ready to be here for the Saturday to start our honeymoon!

dogsoldierspoon Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I'll come from the Czech Republic. And I don't fly, so bus it is Thats impressive, how long will it take you? About 18 hours or so. It's horrible A flight would have taken me only 2 hours (plus transport from Luton, Gatwick or Heathrow). But yeah. DonT like flying. And I hate the bus journey as well, but. Irrational fears win. I travel to London a couple of times a year so I'm used to it though. I don't think I'll ever complain again about my silly 7 hour bus ride from Belgium 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyCrane Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 We are coming from Germany (near Frankfurt) by train. It's a 7 hour journey. I'm struggeling with nasty ear infections this year, so no flying for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only be your plane there being unloaded really. Also enjoy approach it is a little bit steeper than normal airport approaches. :) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmorris2504 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Coming from the south coast near Brighton. Well more than likely I'll go from Brighton to make the train fare cheaper and the journey quicker,should only take an hour or so. But knowing southern rail it could take anywhere up to 2 and a half hours not including delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
