However, this may be about to change. Low cost carrier Easyjet appears to be making a major investment into its services from London Gatwick Airport, if the new routes it has just announced are anything to go by. This is good news for those living in the South-East of England that want to take city breaks across Europe; the struggle across London to Stansted or Luton can be annoyingly time-consuming. It’s also useful for those in European cities wishing to visit London – more competition usually means lower prices.
