London City Airport Reviews

★★★★★
Really nice airport, short wait for luggage, quick walk to exit. The time from exiting the aircraft and being outside the terminal was around 20 minutes, and we did not rush.
- Pontus Emanuelsson

★★★★★
Очень красивый, очень удобный аэропорт. Однозначно всем советую, лучший вариант.
- Arsyri

★★★★★
I love this airport - every city should have one like this. Charming, small (verging on tiny) but efficient. Whenever you land, know that it'll be at the wrong end of that long corridor. Great DLR links to the city.
- Chris Wood

★★★★★
London City Airport is aimed almost directly at the business traveller. As a leisure traveller I felt quite out of my depth!! However it benefits for this as, the airport is so easy to get around. Security was really busy, but moving, and the departures area was quite cramped, but not uncomfortably so. Plenty of places to get food and drink. Signage could be improved on however. Loads of places to sit and watch movements, I spent most of my time sat by gate 1 watching the aircraft come and go. Boarding was from the far end of the western pier. Which is undergoing renovations, so wasn't as nice as it could be potentially been. Waiting to board the flight was in a small room, which was quite dingy, but given the works, acceptable. All in all a pleasant experience which I would recommend.
- Robert Brooks

★☆☆☆☆
Waiting lounges always overcrowded and way to hot! A lot of reconstruction is going on and indeed there is a lot to improve! Customs very unfriendly and impatient towards people that don't speak English very well. And to people who don't understand them right away!
- Marco

★★★★★
Quick security experience this time. The fastest I've been thru any UK Airport security. Despite the flight being delayed for 2hrs found a good seat to watch out over the runway and taxiway to keep myself entertained, plenty of places to grab food and drink too. Toilets decent and clean. Wifi unlimited and free. Worth noting that nearly all seats had direct access to plugs. Something all other airports would do good to take after.
- Robert Brooks

★★★★★
Got from DLR station to gate in 10 minutes and straight onto the flight. You can't ask for much more than that especially now that the airport is busier than ever.
- Alex G

★★★★★
Big improvement since my last visit (many years ago!), found out that using LCY Flight Info (search it on Facebook) will send flight update straight away to my phone so no need to look for departure board in the airport to find out where's the gate that my flight is leaving. Love it! Western lounge is going through improvement phrase at the moment, so my next visit will be a lot better!
- Celestyn Chmielewski

★★★★☆
Took a while for my baggage to come out at baggage reclaim despite my flight sit close to baggage reclaim area....
- Celestyn Chmielewski

★★★★★
As I traveller from Australia, I don't get to use this airport often, so it's a treat for me. Straight through customs, friendly staff, no waiting for baggage, up and away on the DLR in no time. Love it! I've only ever arrived here. Maybe next time I'll arrange a departure and see what it's like.
