Cheap flights from Heraklion to London

Book well ahead for better prices since this is a popular European route. March stands out as the cheapest month to travel, when fewer tourists are heading south or north between seasons. Other quieter periods follow the winter holidays and avoid peak summer demand. Weekday departures often cost less than weekend flights regardless of season.

The route carries a mix of low-cost and full-service carriers depending on your priorities. Norwegian and Norwegian International offer budget options with optional extras, while British Airways provides full-service connections through its hub. Vueling Airlines, Transavia France, Volotea, and Jet2 operate as low-cost alternatives. TUI Airways focuses on leisure travel, Olympic Air covers Greek connections, and ITA Airways brings Italian network access to the route.

Decide which London airport suits your plans before you land. Heathrow and Gatwick sit far from central London but offer extensive transport links into the city. London City sits closest to the financial district with limited services. Luton and Stansted require longer journeys toward central destinations. All airports provide rail connections, buses, and taxi options for reaching your final destination.
