Gatwick or Luton???
 

We have the option of flying into either Luton or Gatwick via Easy Jet. We will be staying near Victoria Station. From what I can tell, Gatwick is more convenient. Since this is my first trip to the UK, what do you veterans suggest? Thanks!

<BR>I flew EasyJet to Gatwick last week. I was in Victoria Station within 1 hour of landing. Very easy via the Gatwick Express.

Gatwick is closer to Victoria Station. Consider taking the local train as it only takes about 10 minutes longer and is a few pounds cheaper. Some of the local trains go to Brighton so that city with be the most prominent on the large departure sign.<BR><BR>You can also go to Gatwick from Victoria Station (Buckingham Palace Road stop next to the station) on Green Line 757 bus. Easyjet has a reduced fare of 8.00 return. It takes about 90 minutes.

Thanks to both of you for your replies. Sounds like Gatwick is our best bet.

I MADE A MISTAKE! I meant you can go to Luton by the 757 bus. You may conclude that Luton is not so bad but it is a bit farther away.

Gatwick, no contest. Go by train (Gatwick Express is a bit more expensive than other services that go to Gatwick Airport). Luton is a good airport, but is rather a schlep to get to. However, if your flight from Luton is, say, &pound;35+ less expensive than from Gatwick, you might want to think about trying Luton.
