London: London Heathrow
built 203 days ago
For transfers directly between London's airports, the fastest way (short of a taxi) is the direct inter-airport bus service by National Express [5]. Buses between Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted and Luton run at least hourly, with Heathrow-Gatwick services taking 65min (£18) and Heathrow-Stansted services 90min (£20.50) (note that services between Stansted and Luton run only every two hours). However, it's essential to allow leeway, as London's expressways, especially the orbital M25 and the M1 motorway, are often congested to the point of gridlock. Buses have toilets on board.

Several airports serve the London area. Heathrow Airport is the main international airport. Gatwick, Luton and Stansted are hubs for the no-frills airlines. High-speed rail service to Paris and Brussels on Eurostar is available via the "Chunnel".

London still remains one of the world's greatest ports. It exports manufactured goods and imports petroleum, tea, wool, raw sugar, timber, butter, metals, and meat. Consumer goods, clothing, precision instruments, jewelry, and stationery are produced, but manufacturing has lost a number of jobs in the once-dominant textile, furniture, printing, and chemical-processing industries as firms have moved outside the area. Engineering and scientific research are ... important to the economy, as is tourism. The city is a hub for road, rail, and air (its airports include Heathrow and Gatwick), and it is now linked to the Continent by a high-speed rail line under the English Channel.

"These are significant schedule developments and a continuing commitment driven by the London market's importance to our customers, as well as Heathrow's worldwide connections through our oneworld® partners," said Gerard Arpey, American's Chairman and CEO. "This will be the first time London-bound passengers using our DFW or Raleigh/Durham gateways will be able to fly directly to Heathrow, which is London's leading airport.
