Cheap flights from Abu Dhabi to London

Booking several weeks ahead usually brings better options, especially since February tends to sit lower than other periods. The school holidays and major travel seasons around December bring more demand, so flexibility helps when dates allow. Weekdays generally see less pressure than weekends for this particular corridor between the two capitals.

Every carrier on this route makes connections at its own hub rather than offering direct service to London. Gulf Air, Royal Jordanian, Saudi Arabian Airlines and Qatar Airways are full-service operators that connect through their regional hubs with meals included in most tickets. Turkish Airlines routes passengers via Istanbul while Aegean Airlines uses Athens as a gateway. Wizz Air and Wizz Air Malta operate on a different model where fares cover only the seat unless you add extras. Pegasus, Luxair round out the options available to travellers.

Before you land you should decide which London airport suits your plans most since each sits at a different distance from central locations. Heathrow and Gatwick draw the largest number of passengers while City, Luton and Stansted tend to be closer to certain parts of the capital. Each arrival point offers train or bus connections into town that vary in time and convenience depending on where you need to go.
