When to fly

Travel demand shifts around British school holidays and the winter period when families visit relatives in India. February tends to have lower fares as it falls outside peak seasons. Weekday departures often cost less than weekend flights, though prices fluctuate throughout each month based on availability rather than fixed patterns.

Airlines and what to expect

Full-service carriers like Emirates, Etihad Airways and Lufthansa typically include checked baggage and meal service in their base fares. Budget airlines such as Akasa Air and Indigo charge separately for luggage and seat selection. Kuwait Airways and Gulf Air offer mid-range options with varying inclusions depending on the fare class chosen.

Arriving — London

London has five airports, each requiring different ground transport arrangements. Heathrow connects well by rail to central London, while Gatwick offers train services that reach the city centre within an hour. Stansted and Luton rely more heavily on coach connections, and London City sits closest to financial districts but handles fewer flights.
