London to Amsterdam
Under an hour in the air, which makes the airport choice the whole journey. Schiphol handles business aviation from its own east-side terminal but is slot-coordinated and relentlessly busy, and a poor slot can cost more time than the flight saves. Rotterdam The Hague is the usual alternative and Lelystad takes general aviation as well — both trade a few minutes airborne for a great deal less on the ground.
