/Best airport transfers revealed

THESE are the airports with the best and worst transfer times in Europe, according to new figures.

Travel search engine GoEuro analysed more than 70 European airports to rank the fastest and cheapest transfers to city centres.

Manchester Airport did well coming in at number 23 on the table of top 76 cities in Europe, ahead of other UK airports including Bristol, Belfast and Edinburgh.

It found that travel from Manchester Airport to the city centre is fastest by train with fares starting from £3.80 and taking 20 minutes on average

All four London based airports meanwhile, were ranked in the bottom ten for journey time and cost.

The data revealed transfer fares across Europe range from 64p to £25 and journey times vary from five to 85 minutes.

Nice Côte d’Azur secured the position of the most convenient airport in Europe, with a five minute transfer time costing just £1.59.

Closer to home, Birmingham was the only UK city to make it into the top 20 European airports, with London Gatwick ranking as the most inconvenient airport in the list.

Prague and Amsterdam proved themselves to be amongst the most convenient city break destinations, both securing places in the top 10 airports with transfer times taking less than 15 minutes and costing no more than £4. Both cities have also increased in popularity since last summer, based on GoEuro’s August ‘Hotlist’.

The Hotlist – which tracks popularity increase year-on-year – also shows that, despite an expensive journey from Paris airport to the city centre, travellers are not put off by time or cost as the Parisian capital holds the number one city break title.

Paris has increased its European city break popularity, ranking number one holiday destination based on searches from August 2016-2017.
