Each year, millions of visitors pass through its five main airports. Heathrow, west of the city centre is Britain's biggest airport. It has five terminals and is one of the busiest airports in the world. Cheap flights from London to Berlin can depart from Heathrow as well as Gatwick, Stansted or Luton, the latter of which regularly operate low-budget airlines. London City, which also runs flights between London and Berlin, is the smallest of the main airports with only one runway and is often used by business travellers.
