How do these peripheral airports get to name themselves in such a misleading way? 'London Oxford airport' isn't even in Oxford; locals still call it Kidlington airport.

Oxford is a commuter city for London - you can drive to/from the centre of each in around 90mins

or London Heathrow to Oxford Airport in around 60mins

that's no time at all compared to the driving distances between major US cities, which I'm guessing is what this is based on

You should see what they name towns in Maine. Not the Paris you expected.
