Flights into the UK will normally land into either London Gatwick, which is close to the M25 ("M" signifies "Motorway", which is a 6 lane major road with a national 70 miles per hour (112 Km/h) speed limit), or London Heathrow, which is alongside the M4. A number of international flights also come into Bristol and Exeter. 

It is a little known fact that you can fly to Cornwall, by using two new services, (June 2005 & March 2004), which is operated by BMIbaby from Birmingham Airport and Durham Tees Valley Airport to Newquay and Air Southwest, from London Gatwick, to Plymouth. There are also services from Plymouth to other regional airports. The flight costs as little as £20.00 plus tax, on a single leg, and takes 50 minutes in the air. Sometimes you get a free trip to Newquay included in the itinerary which adds another 30 minutes to the flight time to, or from London. Flights can also be taken from many other UK regional airports either direct to Plymouth, or via Gatwick using this service. 
Air Southwest

In March 2002, the Irish carrier Ryanair announced a daily cut price service from London Stansead to Newquay Airport on the north coast of Cornwall, just 45 minutes from the Inn. The fare is an incredible £9.00 each way. 

Plymouth City Airport  (Tel: 0345-222111) has links with London (Gatwick) and various other cities throughout the British Isles; and also with Paris.
