Easyjet to fly from London Southend Airport
.........London Southend..........that is!!!!
Who makes this stuff up? It's Southend Airport....for gawds sake! Fly with Ryanair to "Hamburg", you'll end up about 70 km away in the town of Lübeck. Lübeck has a nice historic town center, though, and a famous christmas market. If you go to Ryanair's "Frankfurt", you'll find yourself 100 km away from Frankfurt, literally in the middle of nowhere. "Düsseldorf": 90 km aways from Düsseldorf, etc etc. Funny though, in the case of München (Munich) they did not name the airport "[next major city] - [airport somewhere]" like in the above cases, but "Memmingen (München West)". Maybe 115 km is to far away even in Ryanair's standards :) Anyway. You get what you pay for. |

I flew from Hahn ("Frankfurt") with Ryanair about ten years ago because where they were flying to was, actually, convenient. They have a brass neck both with their cavalier attitude towards geography and their hidden charges. I avoid using so-called "cheap" airlines because, one way or another, you end up paying more, particularly if time is money... F*UD |

[though ties in nicely with another thread about how cheap Ryanair are.....well, if you were coming into London and land at Southend, its gotta be cheap because the onward time and money will knock a bit of a hole in Ryanair ticket price and convenience..] Is it much harder to get to (from Euston, say) than Gatwick or Heathrow? If it isn't you can be sure that Ryanair are working on a way to make sure it is... F*UD |

Has the new airport train station opened yet? Once it's open, it'll be 52 minutes from Liverpool St, the same as Stansted, and similar to KGX to Heathrow on the Picc, albeit slower than Heathrow or Gatwick by fast train. Until then, depends how many taxis there are at Rochford. R's, John |

Stansted is ludicrously expensive to get to from London. *Southend can't be worse, can it? Well, the only time I did it was almost forty years ago and the train went through some pretty, er, dodgy parts of East London. A lot of those are now not at all dodgy, but I think you would still be well advised to hire bodyguards for the journey. That would put the price up... F*UD |
