Where the airport is actually nowhere near the city it claims to serve;

Since when has Oxford been in London? For that matter; when did Stansted, Luton or Gatwick get a London postcode?

If you jumped on a train that said it was going to London, but it was actually bound for Oxford, you'd be pretty annoyed. And rightly so.  So how come they can get away with it when it comes to airports?

Barry Smith, Skyscanner co-founder and director commented:

"It's easy to get caught out by flying to an airport that is miles away from where you want to be, especially if you're not familiar with your destination, and that low price flight could easily be offset by the cost of a bus or taxi fare. Double check the airport location before your book, especially when flying on low-cost airlines."
