'I put London City Airport's 30-minute door-to-gate promise to the ultimate test' Getting to the airport is rarely a stress-free experience.
Yet, each time I arrive at the airport, I find I have too much time to waste, especially when I have no interest in wandering through the duty-free shops.
It is one of the smaller in the UK and it boldly claims that travellers can get from its front doors to their departure gate in just 30 minutes.
It's a difficult judgement to make however, especially given the huge queues which have become a feature of air travel in airports such as Birmingham and Manchester post-Covid lockdowns.
To me, half an hour sounded ambitious, especially when you consider the number of steps involved: dropping off your bag, going through security, and navigating your way to the gate.
