I'm not an airline bod, but I used to live very happily (and cheaply) in a village in the middle of Salisbury plain. Happened to suit me well for the airfield I was working on, and it's worth mentioning that the M4, which runs along the North edge of the plain takes you straight to LHR.
If it wasn't for the preferences of Mrs Pilotage, I'd still be there.
The art is not being too close to anywhere with a large yuppie or sloane population. Fortunately northern Salisbury Plain was only close to Swindon, which may have a large population but no Yuppie would be seen close to the place.
If you fly out of LGW, then the south side of the Thames Estuary - particularly the Isles of Grain and Sheppey might offer similar advantages.
