Cheap flights from Busan to London

Start with the shoulder weeks around December, then compare December itself, since the facts show it as the cheapest month on this route. July and August fall in the school-holiday period, and the weeks around Christmas and New Year can tighten availability, so those dates need earlier checks. Midweek departures often leave more choice than weekends, and the gap between your outbound and return dates matters as much as the month you choose.

The difference you feel is in what the ticket includes: some carriers sell a seat and little else, while others fold baggage, meals or changes into the fare. The low-cost names here are Jeju Air, Air Busan, VietJet Air and Hong Kong Express Airways; the full-service names are Shanghai Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Korean Air, Eva Air and Vietnam Airlines, but fare rules on your date decide what is included. None is nonstop, so every itinerary connects somewhere; read the baggage line and change policy before you pay, because a cheaper base fare can grow once you add extras.

Heathrow and Gatwick are the large airports with long walks, busy terminals and rail links into town; Luton and Stansted are smaller but farther out, so the transfer can take as long as the flight hop; London City is the small, central airport with short queues. Trains, the Tube, coaches and taxis all serve these airports, but the right choice depends on which terminal you land at and the time of day. Note which London airport your ticket names, because a cheap fare into a far-out airport can cost you hours on the ground.
