Cheap Flights from Chongqing to London

The shoulder weeks before December tend to offer lighter crowds while prices stay reasonable. December itself arrives as the cheapest month on this route, followed closely by late winter dates in January and February. Booking several weeks ahead usually helps, especially when school holidays overlap with peak travel periods in both China and Europe. Avoid the height of summer if possible.

The schedule is mostly full-service carriers from China, with Cathay Pacific providing a Hong Kong connection option. AirAsiaX Sdn Bhd stands apart as the sole low-cost carrier on this list. Most airlines operate connecting flights through their respective hubs rather than direct services, though some routes do offer nonstop options.

Before you land, arrange transport from whichever London airport your airline uses. Heathrow and Gatwick have train links to central stations while City Airport sits closest to the financial district. Luton and Stansted require bus connections further out but compensate with lower landing charges that sometimes translate to cheaper fares.
