Hang on a second! This isn t London! It s Southend! We reveal the 15 most misleadingly-named airport


Hang on a second! This isn t London! It s Southend! We reveal the 15 most misleadingly-named airports that are a long way out of town... and the 15 airports that are closest to where they say they are.
Many budget airlines use secondary airports because of the lower operational costs compared to more central airports, which is totally new york city night cruise fair enough - it means you get a cheap fare. But do check where you re actually flying to before you book - it s not always what it says on the tin.
For example, say you want to go to Stockholm. The Swedish capital has four airports. Both Stockholm (Skavsta) and Stockholm (Västerås) are 62 miles (99km) from central Stockholm. Which is great if you re not actually going to Stockholm. If Nyköping is where you re heading, then great, it serves your needs. Heading off hiking? You can actually start walking on the 1000 kilometre Sörmlandsleden trail straight from the arrivals hall! In which case, thank you Ryanair. But if you can t ignore that rock-bottom flight price, do factor in the time (especially of you re arriving late in the day) and transport costs.
But if you re in Stockholm on business or for a weekend break, when you can t afford to spend time on a long transfer from the airport to your hotel or meeting, you are probably best flying to Stockholm (Arlanda), which is a mere (!) 20 miles (37km) from the city centre, although you may pay more for your fliight as you ll need to fly on a scheduled airline like BA.
Last year Ryanair added Paris-Vatry Disney to its list of destinations. With both Paris and Disney in the name, you might expect the airport to be located in the vicinity of either the French capital or Euro Disney. However, at 93 miles from Paris city centre, and 70 miles from Europe s Magic Kingdom , Paris-Vatry Disney set a new record in misleading airport nomenclature.
Munich s Memmingen airport new york city night cruise is 70 miles from central Munich , Oslo Torp is 68 miles from central Oslo , and new easyJet (it s not just Ryanair!) base, London Southend, new york city night cruise is 40 miles from the city centre (the same distance as London Stansted is from central London). Here are the top 15 offenders:
