SFO-OAK is pretty easy (despite that ridiculous, overpriced cable car at OAK).
Tokyo's great too even if you don't understand Japanese. Haneda is in a great location and has tons of connections. Haneda to Narita is also pretty easy (bonus: monorail).
Airports are, by design, generally out in the middle of nowhere and their connectivity suffers as a result. You get things like London where Heathrow and London City are reasonably accessible, but things like Stansted are out in the middle of bloody nowhere.
- greglindahl 10y agoStansted has a direct train. The problem is that it's way out, not that it doesn't have a good transit link.
- inferiorhuman 10y agoSure, and from Liverpool Street the Stansted Express is quite expensive (> 30 GBP) especially when compared to simply taking the tube to Heathrow (<= 6 GBP). That is, IMO, bordering on expensive enough to consider that poor connectivity.
- greglindahl 10y agoI always take the Heathrow Express, so I guess you aren't on an expense account! If I read the rate card correctly, the Stansted Express is cheaper than the Heathrow Express.
- inferiorhuman 10y agoWell, Stansted is kind of a giveaway, right? It's the RyanAir airport.
