Airport websites

I'm wondering if there is a website that contains information on the location of airports in relation to the cities they serve and possibly details of different options on getting from the airport to the relevant city.

The main reason for asking is that some of the budget European airlines use airports that may be less accessible to the city. Sometimes (as in the case of Venice), Ryanair and Easyjet use different airports.

I know a lot of this information is contained on Airport websites and even some airline websites but it takes time to look up a number of different cities quickly.

Well not a website but Thomas Cook European Timetable in table 5 lists airport connections, giving distance from city and exact info on transit. For example for Venice ryainair it gives Treviso (TSF) as 18 miles from Venice and 70-min bus ride that connects with Ryanair flights, cost euros 4.5, or Beauvais (Paris) 10 euros for Ryanair buses to Porte Maillot, etc. Many public libraries carry Cooks or i can reference a specific airport if you ask in title.

Agree with PalQ re Cook's Table 5..probably one of the most comprehensive lists of airport "connections" anywhere.

Sort of seems like this would be helpful information for Ryan to have on their website, huh?

Even more time if you do it slowly.

Ryanair DOES have extensive information on the access to/from (and to a lesser extent, the location of) every airport it serves.

Click on "Destinations".

Best wishes,

Rex

Thanks to everyone for your replies.

Rex - I realise what information is available on the Ryanair site and when I use Ryanair I find it very useful. Obviously they do not tell me anything about the (probably) much more convenient main city airports for that city.

I was just wodering if all this information was in one place somewhere.

Now I understand the &quot;all in one place&quot; question better. I don't think it exists - - but for most of the <i>major</i> airports, www.airwise.com has links, and a lot of access info, all in one place.
