Ask questions and review current options before deciding.
A compact planning view for the city—not a live fare feed.
To find cheaper flights, compare the same trip across dates, airports and fare types. The lowest base fare may not be the lowest final cost.
Compare all London airports
Check Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Stansted, Luton and Southend where relevant. Include the transfer cost and time to your stay.
Check flexible dates
Compare nearby dates only when your plans are genuinely flexible. Events, school holidays and limited travel dates can change demand.
Compare the final price
Include baggage, seats and payment or service charges. Review change, cancellation, refund and no-show rules for the exact fare.
Compare nonstop and connecting trips
Check total journey time, connection protection, terminal changes and baggage transfer—not only the number of stops.
Should I choose nonstop or one stop?
From the US, compare total journey time, London airport, baggage and fare rules. Overnight timing can affect the first day, so check arrival time and hotel access. For connections, confirm that all flights are on one protected ticket and whether bags transfer through. Nonstop routes and schedules vary by airport and date.
Should I fly or take the train?
From another UK city, compare the complete airport journey with rail to the London station nearest your stay. From Ireland, compare arrival airport, baggage and onward transport. Check the final payable total and door-to-door time; a low base fare may lose value after add-ons and transfers.
Is nonstop worth it?
From Canada, compare total time, London airport, baggage, fare rules and first-night plans. Availability varies by departure point and season. For connections, check ticket protection, terminal changes, transit requirements and baggage handling.
Which connection works best?
From Australia, compare total time, connection airport, layover, baggage continuity and London arrival time. Check whether the journey is on one ticket and whether terminal changes or overnight stops apply. Confirm transit and entry requirements for every country in the itinerary.
London flight demand can rise around school holidays, major events and popular travel periods. Spring and early autumn often suit sightseeing; summer offers longer daylight; winter brings shorter days and possible disruption. If your dates are flexible, compare a small range around your preferred trip rather than assuming one month or weekday is always cheapest.
Use official sources and reconfirm requirements for the actual traveller and itinerary.
Choose the airport around your accommodation:
• Heathrow: compare Elizabeth line, Piccadilly line and Heathrow Express.
• Gatwick: choose the train by its London station.
• London City: connect by DLR.
• Stansted: compare rail and coach.
• Luton: include the DART terminal link.
• Southend: check current trains towards Liverpool Street.
For late arrivals, luggage, children or mobility needs, compare an authorised taxi or pre-arranged transfer.
Need help comparing flights to London?
A Flying Getaway advisor can review current bookable options around your origin, dates, cabin, baggage, fare rules and preferred arrival airport. You approve any booking decision.
Explore the destination, a specific route or another relevant city-flight page.
Questions are kept flight-specific so the destination guide can own the wider trip.
Compare the airport with your flight, arrival time and accommodation. Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Stansted, Luton and Southend offer different flight choices and transfers; the lowest fare may not produce the easiest complete journey.
A nonstop can reduce journey time and connection risk, but it is not always the best fit. Compare it with protected one-stop options by final price, baggage, fare rules, arrival airport and total travel time.
Compare nearby dates, all relevant London airports, nonstop and connecting trips, and the final payable price. Include baggage, seats and transfers. Fares change, so use your exact origin and dates when requesting current options.
Check cabin and checked allowances, dimensions, weight, charges, special-item rules and the operating carrier. For connections, confirm whether baggage transfers through and what happens after a schedule change.
Arrange airline and airport assistance in advance. Use current step-free information for the exact airport-to-hotel route, then reconfirm lift status, engineering works and accessible transport close to travel.
It depends on nationality, passport, residence, trip purpose and transit. Use the official GOV.UK checker before booking and again before departure; each traveller may need their own visa or Electronic Travel Authorisation.
Fares, schedules and availability change. Share the details that matter and review current options before deciding.
