Cheap flights from Budapest to London

December is the cheapest month in the price data for this route, so start there if your dates are flexible. Fares usually climb through July and August and around Christmas and school holidays, while the shoulder months can sit between those extremes. Weekday departures often cost less than weekend ones, and early flights can be cheaper if you can manage the early start. Check the price calendar for your exact dates rather than assuming one month is always cheapest.

The list includes Ryanair, Wizz Air, Easyjet, Wizz Air Malta, British Airways, Air Serbia, Norwegian, TUI Airways, Malta Air and LOT Polish Airlines. Direct flights are available, but some itineraries may include a connection, so check the flight number and stop count before booking. Fare inclusions vary by carrier and ticket type, including baggage, seat selection, meals and changes, so compare the total cost rather than the base fare alone. Some carriers are low-cost and others full-service, and the same airline can sell several fare types on this route.

Arriving late can change the transfer you use, because public transport runs less often and some airport links stop for the night. London City is the closest of the five airports to central London, while Stansted and Luton are farther out; Heathrow, Gatwick and London City have rail connections, and coach services also serve the outlying airports. Check the last train or coach time before you choose a late flight, and allow extra time if your plane lands after evening services thin out. If you land very late, staying near the airport may be simpler than crossing London at night.
